Some people also call these Russian Tea Cookies. I make these around the Christmas holidays.

l/4 cup confections sugar
1 cup soft butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 1/4 cup sifted flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup finely chopped walnuts


Mix thoroughly 1 cup soft butter and vanilla. Sift together flour and salt and add to butter mixture. Add chopped walnuts. CHILL DOUGH. Roll into 1 inch balls. Bake until set but not brown. While still warm roll in confectioners sugar. Handle carefully.


Bake at 400 degrees 10-12 minutes.

Chrissy, I make these with chopped pecans and call them "Snowball Cookies". Archway does them with chunks of cashew and calls them Mexican Wedding Cakes; they are to die for (and probably, of! LOL). They sell them only at Christmastime.
