Ingredients
-
1 Cup Unsalted butter (2 Sticks -slightly melted)
-
4 Tbsp. of Powdered sugar plus more for dusting later
-
2 Tsp. of Pure Vanilla extract (we use Vanilla Bourbon from Trader Joe’s)
-
2 Cups All purpose flour
-
1 Cup Walnuts- (Raw-no shell) Chopped
-
1 Cup of Pecans- (Raw-no shell) Chopped (Candied pecans are also yummy.)
-
1/4 Tsp. Salt
Directions
Preheat oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit
Combine your butter, salt, vanilla, and sugar with a hand mixer until creamy.
Then, add the flour, nuts and combine with a wooden spoon until it holds together- you may need to use hands at this point. (messy time!)
Roll your cookie dough into quarter size balls and place on a un-greased baking sheet, or parchment lined sheet evenly spaced apart.
Place in oven on center rack and bake for about 10-13 minutes until light golden brown, but not too brown.
Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes or so, then gently roll each cookie in the powdered sugar to coat evenly and place on parchment lined cooling rack. (see notes)
Serve warm with coffee/tea or box them up for family & friends!
Recipe Note
• Be sure to coat your cookies in powdered sugar while they are still hot/warm so that the sugar sticks.
• These should store well if in a zip lock bag pr sealed container for 1-2 weeks.
