This is an old, old recipe for walnut balls that has been in the family for years — its origin is unknown. The recipe uses very little sugar; the cookies are rolled in superfine sugar to sweeten.
Ingredients
- ½ cup butter, softened
- 1 1/8 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup chopped walnuts
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons white sugar
- ½ cup super fine sugar
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Cream white sugar and butter in a mixing bowl. Add flour, nuts, salt, and vanilla; mix well. Dough will be very crumbly.
Step 3
Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
Step 5
Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 3 minutes, then roll in superfine sugar. When cool, roll again in superfine sugar, if desired.
