OLD-FASHIONED WALNUT BALLS RECIPE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Preheat oven to 375 F. Cream butter, sugar, and vanilla in a stand mixer or with an electric hand beater at medium speed until fluffy; the butter should approximately double in size and turn pale yellow.
• Sift flour and salt together.
• Add it in two or three batches to the creamed mixture; mix gently to incorporate it between each addition. Stir in walnuts.
• Pinch a walnut-size chunk of dough off, roll it into a ball, and place it on an ungreased cookie sheet. Repeat with remaining dough, leaving about 1 inch of space between each ball.
• Bake cookies for 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer walnut balls from cookie sheet to a wire rack using ​a spatula. Cool for 10 to 15 minutes.
• Roll cooled cookies in sifted confectioners sugar.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

• Bake in preheated oven until bottoms are golden, about 15 minutes. Do not allow these cookies to get too brown: it's better to undercook them than to overcook them. While cookies are still hot, roll them in confectioners' sugar. Once they have cooled, roll them in confectioners' sugar once more.
