8 oz (230 g) butter
½ cup powdered sugar
a pinch of salt
1½ tsp ground cinnamon
2 tsp vanilla extract
2¼ cups all-purpose flour
1½ cups nuts (any kind; I used almonds)
Powdered sugar for rolling the cookies.
All ingredients should be at room temperature. Beat the butter and powdered sugar until fluffy. Add the salt, cinnamon, vanilla, and flour, then mix until combined. Fold in the nuts and mix well. Form the dough into walnut-sized balls, place them on a baking sheet, and refrigerate for 1 hour.
Bake the cookies for about 10-12 minutes at 350°F (180°C). Roll the cookies in powdered sugar three times: once while they’re still warm, then twice more after they’ve cooled. This helps the powdered sugar stick to the cookies.
The cookies turn out very crisp and can be stored for up to a month. Enjoy!
