1/2 pound walnuts, finely ground
Confectioners' sugarPreheat oven to 300 degrees.
Combine the flour and the sugar in a large bowl; mix well. Add the butter, vanilla, and walnuts. (The dough will be crumbly, so use enough additional flour, if needed, to obtain a consistency that you can roll into walnut-size balls).
Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until golden brown. While the cookies are still warm, shake them in a paper bag filled with confectioners' sugar. Cool and store in an airtight container.
