Time 50m

Yield About 60 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound unsalted butter
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 teaspoons baking powder
4 teaspoons confectioners' sugar
1/2 cup crushed walnuts
1 pound flour, sifted
Additional confectioners' sugar for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. With an electric mixer, whip the butter until creamy. Add the egg, vanilla extract, baking powder, sugar and nuts. Mix thoroughly.
  • Add the flour until the dough becomes too stiff to beat with a mixer. By hand, add flour and knead until dough is smooth and rolls off your fingers without sticking.
  • Roll the dough out by hand into a cylinder roughly one inch in diameter and eight inches long. Cut diagonally into one-and-a-half-inch pieces. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the bottoms of the cookies are golden brown. Let the cookies cool and sprinkle them generously with confectioners' sugar.
