Wedding Cake Cookies
 Ingredients:
1 cup butter, room temperature
1/2 cup sifted powdered (confectioners') sugar
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour*
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup finely-chopped toasted nuts (nuts of your choice)
Powdered (confectioner's) sugar
Spread nuts in a single layer on a baking pan for toasting in the oven. Cook at 400 degrees F for 7 to 10 minutes or until the nuts start to turn golden. 
Preparation:
In a large bowl cream butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
Sift in flour and salt; stir until well mixed. Mix in nuts. Cover bowl and refrigerate 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Roll dough into 1-inch balls. 
Place dough balls onto ungreased cookie sheets with about 1-inch of space between them. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until set but not brown. 
Place the powdered sugar in a bowl. While still warm, roll cookies in powdered sugar until completely coated. When cookies have cooled, roll them again in the confectioners’ sugar to give them a nice even coating of sugar. 
Store in an airtight container.

Yields 3 1/2 to 4 dozen cookies.
