Another great cookie that Jim's mom and sister made for many years, another favorite at Christmas time. A tender, buttery cookie rolled in powdered sugar.
Cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Add salt, vanilla, flour and nuts; blend well.
Shape into roll, 1-1/2" in diameter. Wrap in wax paper and chill.
Slice in 1/4" slices and shape. Place on ungreased cookie sheet, bake in 400F oven 6-8 minutes for slices, 8-10 minutes for balls. Roll in confectioner's sugar while still warm.
Makes 3-4 dozen.
