Wedding Cookies Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 1⁄2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 1⁄4 cups sifted flour
  • 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
  • 3⁄4 cup chopped walnuts
  • powdered sugar (for rolling baked cookies in)

Directions:

Cream together butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy; stir in vanilla.

Whisk together flour and salt; add gradually to butter mixture; stir in chopped nuts.

Chill dough if it seems too soft.

Form dough into 1 1/4″ balls and place onto parchment-lined or ungreased baking sheets.

Bake at 400° for 10-12 minutes or just until the cookies start to turn light golden-brown; remove from oven and allow to cool slightly; while cookies are still warm (but NOT hot) remove them from baking sheets and roll, a few at a time, in powdered sugar until evenly coated; cool cookies completely on wire racks.

Cookies may (optionally) be rolled in powdered sugar a second time once cooled to room temperature.

NOTE: Forming dough into 1″ balls will increase yield to 48 cookies.
