Ingredients

• 1 cup finely chopped nuts (such as almonds or pecans)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• Extra powdered sugar, for rolling

Directions

1. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
2. Gradually add the flour, chopped nuts, vanilla extract, and salt to the butter mixture. Mix until well combined and a dough forms.
3. Cover the dough and refrigerate for about 10-15 minutes to firm up.
4. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
5. Shape the chilled dough into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter.
6. Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown on the bottom.
8. Remove from the oven and allow the nutballs to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes.
9. While still warm, roll the nutballs gently in powdered sugar to coat them completely.
10. Transfer the coated nutballs to a wire rack to cool completely.
11. Once cooled, roll the nutballs in powdered sugar again for a second coat.
12. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
