ITALIAN BUTTER COOKIES




Source of Recipe


Internet


List of Ingredients




1 lb. soft butter
1 cup powdered sugar
1 cup walnuts, chopped fine
3 1/2 cups sifted flour
1 tsp. vanilla
Powdered sugar

Recipe



Whip butter with mixer. Continue mixing at low speed and add 1 cup powdered sugar, walnuts, then the flour, a few tablespoons at a time. Add vanilla.

Drop cookie batter, by teaspoonful quantities, on ungreased cookie sheet.

The dough is fairly stiff so just roll the batter into little balls and then press down with a glass to shape.

Bake 15-20 minutes at 350ºF. Remove from pan and sprinkle with a little powdered sugar.

For cookies used for Christmas, you can place a piece of glazed cherry on top and sprinkle with some green sparkle.
