Ingredients

  • 1 pound unsalted butter, softened

  • 1 cup confectioners' sugar

  • 4 ½ cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 cup finely chopped walnuts, or more to taste

  • ½ cup confectioners' sugar, or as needed

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. Beat butter and 1 cup confectioners' sugar together in a bowl until light and fluffy. Stir in flour and walnuts until dough is just-combined. Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place 2-inches apart on a baking sheet.

  3. Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned on the bottom, about 10 minutes.

  4. Pour 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar in a shallow bowl. Roll hot cookies in confectioners' sugar to coat; cool cookies completely and roll again in confectioners' sugar to coat.
