1/4 cup sifted confectioners' sugar
1/2 tsp. vanilla

1/8 tsp. salt
1/3 cup finely chopped nuts

Cream butter thoroughly. Gradually cream in sugar and vanilla. Sift together flour and salt and stir into creamed mixture. Mix in chopped nuts. Chill dough.

Roll into 1-inch balls. Place on ungreased baking sheet (cookies do not spread).
