Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 6 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1/3 cup confectioners' sugar for decoration

Cooking Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

In a medium bowl, cream butter and vanilla until smooth. Combine the 6 tablespoons confectioners' sugar and flour; stir into the butter mixture until just blended. Mix in the chopped walnuts. Roll dough into 1 inch balls, and place them 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet.

Bake for 12 minutes in the preheated oven. When cool, roll in remaining confectioners' sugar. I also like to roll mine in the sugar a second time.

A Christmas Tradition

My mother made these cookies when I was a child; now I make them...it's been over 50 years. These are a great, delicious melt-in-your mouth cookie, and very easy to make. They keep well in airtight containers.

Very Tasty

Recipe worked well without nuts. With gas oven I used ten minutes. Plan to try pecans next time.

Make 'em every christmas!!!

These cookies are part of my Christmas cookie baking tradition for thirty years!! Everybody's favorite! a grinder or blender in small batches for nuts. Roll in confectioners sugar while warm for best resuls. Enjoy these rich cookies!!! DEB9962

    This is a family recipe that's been made at Christmas time by at least 4 generations. This year will be the first for number 5!!! 'Bubba' brought it with her when she came from Lithuania. I pass it on in the true spirit of this season!
