Snowballs, wedding cakes, nutty nougats. These aren't real sweet, but rich and satisfying.

1 cup of butter
¼ to ½ cup of granulated sugar
2 cups of flour
2 tsp vanilla
½ tsp salt
1 to 2 cups of chopped nuts
Confectioner's sugar

Mix butter sugar and vanilla, add the flour and salt. Add the nuts. Make balls about 1 inch in diameter. Bake 10 to 12 minutes, until set. Remove from cookie sheet to cool plate immediately. Roll in powdered sugar while warm. (I put the xxx sugar in a plastic bag and put 5 or 6 at a time in and gently move the bag around till the cookies are coated.
Makes 4 to 5 dozen
