Here is the recipe my mom gave me. Not sure how to better post it, so I’m just going to post it like a recipe lol…

1 cup margarine or butter
½ cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
¾ cup finely chopped nuts
¼ teaspoon salt
Powdered sugar

Heat oven to 400. Mix margarine, ½ cup powdered sugar and the vanilla. Stir in flour, nuts and salt until dough holds together; shape into 1-inch balls. Place about 1 inch apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake until set but not brown, 10 to 12 minutes.

Roll in powdered sugar while warm; let cool. Roll in powdered sugar again. (Makes about 4 dozen).

We don’t always use nuts because we have a friend with nut allergies. I think they taste mighty fine either way. Actually, I’m not a huge nut fan so I think they taste better without lol.

PS: wrote this while really tired, so if there’s something that doesn’t make sense, lemme know.
