Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and 1 cup powdered sugar until light and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes).
Gradually sift in the flour while mixing on low speed. Fold in the chopped nuts and vanilla extract until well combined.
Shape the dough into small balls (about 1 inch in diameter) and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spaced about two inches apart.
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the bottoms are lightly golden. Avoid overbaking for that perfect melt-in-your-mouth texture.
Let cookies cool for five minutes before rolling them in additional powdered sugar.
