Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper**.
  2. Combine butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer (or you can use a large bowl and an electric mixer) and beat until creamy.
  3. Gradually, with mixer on low-speed, add flour until ingredients are well combined (be sure to scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl!).
  4. Add finely chopped nuts and use a spatula to work nuts into dough.
  5. Scoop cookie dough by approximately 1 tablespoon and roll between your hands to form a smooth ball. Place on prepared baking sheet, spacing cookies 1" apart.
  6. Bake on 375°F for 10-12 minutes or until bottom edges of cookies are just beginning to turn light golden brown.
  7. Remove from oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes before rolling generously through additional powdered sugar. Enjoy!
