These are my very favorite christmas cookie, and they are so easy to make
Ingredients
1 c. butter
1/2 c. powdered sugar
2 c. flour
1/2 T. vanilla
1/2 c. chopped walnuts
extra powdered sugar
Instructions
Cream the butter and sugar. Mix in flour and vanilla. Add nuts and mix by hand. Roll into small balls and place on a cookie sheet. These do not spread so you can place them close together. Bake for ~20 minutes at 350. They are best when they are just barely done, so watch them closely. Let them cool for a minute to let them solidify, and then transfer them to a bag of powdered sugar. Gently move them around to give them a good coating of sugar. Let them sit in the bag for around 10 seconds so the steam from the cookies can combine with the coating of sugar. Remove and transfer to a wire rack to cool.
I like these best refrigerated the next day.
