- 10 ml vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and 60 grams of powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the vanilla extract and mix well.

Gradually add the flour and salt to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined. Stir in the finely chopped nuts.
Step 4
Roll the dough into small balls, about 2.5 cm (1 inch) in diameter, and place them on an ungreased baking sheet.
Step 5
Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until set but not browned. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly.
