Sugared Nut Drops

These tasty little cookies look like tiny snowballs when finished. The combination of nuts and powered sugar makes them delicious!

Ingredients

1 cup butter softened
½ cup confectionary sugar
1 tsp vanilla
½ teaspoon salt
2 ¼ cups sifted flour
½ cup finely chopped walnuts
confectionary sugar

Heat oven to 300 degrees. Place butter in large bowl and beat at moderate speed until light and fluffy. Gradually add sugar, vanilla and salt. Beat thoroughly. Gradually add flour. When well blended add walnuts. Shape a teaspoon of mixture into balls. Place 1 ½ apart on cookie sheet. Bake 25 minutes. Cool slightly. Roll in confectionary sugar. Cool.
