1 c. butter
1/2 c. sifted powdered sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract
2 1/4 c. all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp. salt
3/4 c. chopped walnuts

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Mix butter, sugar, and vanilla thoroughly. Measure flour. Stir flour and salt together. Blend into butter mixture. Mix in nuts. Chill dough.

Roll dough into balls. Place on ungreased cookie sheet. The cookies do not spread. Bake in preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until set but not brown. Remove from sheet with a spatula and cool on a wire rack. While still warm roll in sifted powdered sugar. Cool further and when totally cool, roll in powdered sugar again.
