Snowball Cookies

Ingredients

• 1 cup + 2 tablespoons Swans Down® Cake Flour
• 1½ cups walnuts, finely chopped
• 2-3 tablespoons white granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ½ cup unsalted butter (room temp.)
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• Confectioners’ sugar for coating

Directions

1. PREHEAT oven to 300°F.
2. MIX together flour, walnuts, salt and sugar in a large bowl. Add vanilla extract. Add butter in little pieces and combine everything together with clean hands until the mixture looks like a coarse meal with nut bits in it.
3. FORM the dough into small balls no larger than a walnut and place on the cookie sheet, spaced at least an inch apart from each other.
4. BAKE approximately 30-35 minutes.
5. WHILE still warm, but cool enough to touch, roll the cookies in confectioners’ sugar. Set on wire rack to cool completely. Once cool, dust with confectioners’ sugar again as needed.
