Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 300f and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl combine the flour, walnuts, sugar, and salt.
  3. Add the softened butter and vanilla extract to the flour mixture and combine with your hands to form a coarse meal.
  4. Using your hands, form small dough balls (about a tablespoon's worth) and place them on the cookie sheet.

  6. Once cool, roll the balls in the powdered sugar. Dust with more powdered sugar before serving, if desired.
