Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°; lightly grease (or line with parchment paper) two baking sheets.
- In a bowl, beat the butter, sugar, oil, water, egg, pudding mix, vanilla, salt, and baking powder together until smooth.
- Add in the flour and nuts; beat until everything is well combined; the dough will be stiff.
- Roll or scoop the dough into chestnut-sized balls; roll them in granulated sugar, if desired and place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving a 1-2 inch space between.
- Press the cookies down gently with the bottom of a drinking glass, dipped in sugar if necessary to prevent sticking.
- Bake for 15 minutes, until they are just barely beginning to brown around the edges and are golden brown on the bottom.
- Remove them from the oven and transfer to a rack to cool completely.
