Time 1h40m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup unsalted butter
½ cup confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup chopped walnuts
¼ cup confectioners' sugar, or as needed

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (170 degrees C). Line cookie sheets with parchment paper.
  • Shape dough into 1 inch balls. Place on prepared sheets, spacing evenly. Bake about 20 minutes, or until firm and lightly colored.
  • Sift 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar into a bowl. Transfer cookies to confectioners' sugar while still warm and roll gently to coat. Immediately transfer cookies to plastic bag and seal (this makes the cookies sweat and form an icing). Let stand 5 minutes in the bag. Transfer to rack and cool.

Tips:

  • To achieve a perfectly smooth and creamy texture, make sure to cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
  • Use high-quality butter for the best flavor and texture. Unsalted butter is recommended so that you can control the amount of salt in the cookies.
  • Chill the dough before baking to prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the cookies until the edges are just beginning to brown. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before storing them in an airtight container.
