INGREDIENTS

  • Main Ingredients

    • 🧈 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
    • 🌰 1 cup finely chopped toasted walnuts
    • 1/3 cup confectioners' sugar, packed
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 🧂 1/8 teaspoon salt
    • 🌾 2 cups all-purpose flour
    • 🌾 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
    • 1 cup confectioners' sugar for dusting, or more as needed

STEPS

1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Arrange a rack in the center position of the oven. Line a rimmed baking sheet with a silicone mat.

2

Place butter, walnuts, 1/3 cup packed powdered sugar, vanilla, and salt in a large bowl. Top with 2 cups plus 2 tablespoons flour. Mix with clean hands until dough starts to clump up. Keep mixing by hand until all flour and clumps of butter are evenly mixed into dough.

3

Scoop out dough and roll by hand into uniformly round balls, just slightly larger than 1 inch. Place about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.

4

Bake in the preheated oven until lightly golden, 15 to 25 minutes depending on the size of cookies.

5

Let cool for exactly 5 minutes, then roll warm cookies in 1 cup confectioners' sugar in a medium bowl. Let cookies cool completely, then toss them again in confectioners' sugar.
