Snowball Cookies

Preheat oven to 375 degrees

• 2 Cups butter (4 sticks)
• 1 cup confectionery sugar (powdered)
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 4 1/2 cups flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/2 cups(6oz) chopped walnuts

Combine butter and sugar until fluffy.
(I use this alone at times with flavorings for a spread.)

Stir in the remaining ingredients.

Roll into balls. (about 2 teaspoons)
Place onto a cookie sheet about 1 inch apart. Bake 12 min.

Transfer cookies to pan with a light coating of confectionery sugar and let cool completely.

When cooled, sift confectionery sugar over tops. (Use a sifter or small wire strainer.)

These cookies are very delicate, with a buttery, short bread flavor. They look beautiful, white and snowy! I usually have to make 4 batches to have enough!!!
