Snowball Cookies with Walnuts in 33 Min

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.
3. Stir in the finely chopped walnuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
4. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and 1/4 cup of powdered sugar until pale and creamy.
5. Stir in the vanilla extract.
6. Gradually add the flour-walnut mixture, mixing on low speed or by hand until a soft dough forms; stop immediately once flour disappears.
7. Scoop about 1 tablespoon of dough and roll into 1-inch balls.
8. Place balls on the baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
9. Bake for 15–18 minutes until edges are barely golden.
10. Remove from oven and let cool on the pan for exactly 5 minutes.
11. While still warm, roll each cookie in the sifted powdered sugar.
12. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
13. Once cold, roll the cookies in powdered sugar a second time.
