List of Ingredients
Preheat oven to 350, with rack in middle position
1 1/2 cups melted butter ( 3 sticks, 3/4 pound )
3/4 cup powdered sugar
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp salt
3 1/2 cups flour
1 cup finely chopped nuts ( any kind )
Recipe
Melt the butter. Mix in the powdered sugar, vanilla, nutmeg, and salt. Add
the flour and mix thoroughly. Stir in the nuts. ( If you work quickly, while
the butter is still warm, the dough will be softer and easier to mix. )
Form the dough into one inch balls ( just pat them into shape with your
fingers ), and place them on an ungreased baking sheet, 12 to a standard
sheet. Bake at 350 for 10 minutes, until they are set but not brown.
Let the cookies cool for 2 minutes and then roll them in powdered sugar. (
You must do this while they are still warm. ) Place them on a wire rack and
let them cool thoroughly.
When the cookies are cool, roll them in powdered sugar a second time. Let
them rest for several minutes on the rack, and then store them in a cookie
jar or a covered bowl.
