Steps:
- Preheat an oven to 350°F. Lay the nuts on a baking sheet and bake until toasted, about 10 minutes. Set a timer and watch them closely-nuts can go from toasted to burnt in the blink of an eye. Set the nuts aside to cool.
- Once cool, put the nuts, 1 cup of the sugar, and the salt in a food processor. Pulse until the nuts are finely ground.
- Cut the butter into 1-tablespoon chunks and drop them in the food processor. Pulse to combine with the ground nuts. Drizzle in the vanilla and pulse a few times. Add the flour and pulse to combine to form a dough.
- Roll the dough into 1-tablespoon balls and set them on an ungreased baking sheet (feel free to line the sheets with parchment paper for easy clean up).
- Bake until just turning golden, about 15 minutes.
- Put the remaining powdered sugar in a wide shallow bowl. Roll the cookies in the sugar to coat them and set them on a cooling rack. When the cookies are completely cool, roll them in the sugar for a second time for a brilliantly white snowy coat.
