Another very versatile nut cookie. These make great logs, dipped in chocolate, and they also make great thumbprints. We usually fill these with a fig filling...
- 2 1/2 cubes butter
- 2 tsp vanilla
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- 2 1/2 cups flour
- 3/4 cup ground walnuts
Cream butter and sugar. Add vanilla. Add flour and then the walnuts. Chill dough.
Shape dough into 1/4 to 1/2" cylinders. Cut into 2-3 inch lengths. Bake at 375° for about 10 minutes, or until they start to turn brown.. Cool completely, then dip one end in melted chocolate.
