Ingredients

1 cup soft butter
1/2 cup sifted confectioner's sugar

Directions

Sift together and stir in:

2-1/4 cups sifted flour
1/4 tsp. salt

Mix in:

3/4 cup finely chopped almonds, walnuts or pecans

Chill dough 30 minutes or so. Roll into one-inch balls and place 2-1/2 inches apart on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake 10-12 minutes until set but not brown in a 400 degree oven.

While warm, roll in confectioner's sugar. Let cool. Roll again in confectioner's sugar. (Kids love to make these)
