1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pinch salt
1/3 cup almonds -- ground
1/3 cup black walnuts -- ground
1/3 cup hazelnuts

Have butter at room temperature. Place butter in a mixing bowl. Beat with electric mixer. Gradually add granulated sugar while continuing to beat; stir in vanilla extract and salt. Add ground nuts and flour; roll into a ball and chill for 15 minutes. Break off pieces of dough and roll between palms of your hands to form balls the size of a small walnut. Do not make these too large. Place on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake in preheated 300ºF oven for 18-20 minutes. Remove and roll, while still warm, in powdered sugar. Yield: About 5 dozen.
