Preheat the oven to 400 F.

I like to use my food processort to make mixing this dough super quick and simple. But if you prefer, you can use a bowl.  Mix powdered sugar,  softened butter, and vanilla extract thoroughly until creamy.

Now add all purpose flour, salt, and chopped nuts until well combined.

Optional: chill the dough for about 30 minutes.

Roll the dough in small 1” balls and place on an ungreased sheet. I like to put parchment paper down first to make clean-up a breeze.

NOTE: These cookies will not spread.
