How to cook deliciously - Walnut Snowball Cookies

1. Stage

Make the dough: Mix all the dry ingredients—flour, walnuts, salt, sugar—in a large bowl. Add the vanilla extract. Add the butter in little pieces, and combine everything together with your (clean!) hands until the mixture looks like a coarse meal with nut bits in it.

2. Stage

Chill the dough: Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes in the fridge or up to overnight.

3. Stage

Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 300°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment or silicon baking mats.

4. Stage

Form the dough into balls: Form the dough into small balls no larger than a walnut and place on the cookie sheet, spaced at least an inch apart from each other.

5. Stage

Bake: Bake the cookies for 35 minutes.

6. Stage

Roll in powdered sugar: When cookies are still warm, but cool enough to touch, roll them in the powdered sugar. Set aside on a rack to cool completely. When cool, dust again in powdered sugar.
