Sweet delights

60 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
½ pounds Unsalted butter
½ cup Sugar
1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
1 pinch Salt
⅓ cup Almonds -- ground
⅓ cup Black walnuts -- ground
⅓ cup Hazelnuts
1¾ cup All-purpose flour
1 cup Powdered sugar

Directions

1. Have butter at room temperature. You may try solid margarine with almost the same success as with butter. Place butter in a mixing bowl. Beat with electric mixer. Gradually add granulated sugar while continuing to beat; stir in vanilla extract and salt. Add ground nuts and flour; roll into a ball and chill for 15 minutes. 2. Break off pieces of dough and roll between palms of your hands to form balls the size of a small walnut. Do not make these too large. Place on ungreased cookie sheets. 3. Bake in preheated 300-degree oven for 18-20 minutes. Remove and roll, while still warm, in powdered sugar.

Yield: About 5 dozen.
