1 c. butter
1 tsp. salt
2 tsp. vanilla
1/2 c. powdered sugar (for cookies)

Preparation

Blend butter with salt and vanilla.
Add sugar gradually; cream well.

Add chopped nuts.
Shape dough into little balls slightly larger than a marble.
Place on greased cookie sheet; bake for about 15 minutes in a 350\u00b0 oven.
Remove from pan and quickly but carefully, roll the hot cookies in sifted powdered sugar.
