1/2 c. butter
3 tbsp. confectioners' sugar
1 c. sifted flour
1 c. finely chopped walnuts or pecans

Cream butter with sugar in medium size bowl; gradually add flour, mixing in thoroughly; stir in nuts; chill.

Form teaspoonfuls of dough into marble-size balls by rolling lightly between palms of hands; place on ungreased cookie sheets.

Bake in moderate oven (350 degrees) for 20 minutes, or until pale golden.

Remove from cookie sheet with spatula; while still hot, roll in additional confectioners' sugar; cool on wire rack. Makes about 4 dozen.
