1 c. butter
1/3 c. (firmly packed) brown sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract
2 c. sifted all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. salt
2 c. finely chopped walnuts
Powdered sugar

Cream butter, sugar and vanilla until fluffy. Sift flour and salt together; add to creamed mixture, mixing well to make a soft dough. Stir in walnuts. Break off pieces of dough the size of a walnut and shape into balls. Place on ungreased cookie sheet.

Bake in preheated 375 degree oven for 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from cookie sheet with spatula or pancake turner; cool slightly so they won't crumble when handled, then roll in powdered sugar. Yield: 4 dozen.
