In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter and 1/2 cup powdered sugar until creamy. Blend in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder. Gradually add to the creamed mixture, mixing until just combined.
Fold in the chopped walnuts.
Shape the dough into a ball and wrap it in plastic wrap. Chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
