Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Cream butter, sugar and vanilla.
  • Mix in flour and salt until just blended. 
  • Mix in chopped walnuts.
  • Roll into 1" balls and place on cookie sheet an inch or so apart.
  • Bake for 12 minutes.
  • When cool, roll in organic cane sugar which has been processed in a food processor to make it powdery. Coat with the sugar several times.

Notes

*To soak and dry walnuts: Place 1 cup walnuts and 1 1/2 teaspoons sea salt in a bowl and cover with room-temperature filtered water. Soak 8 hours. Preheat oven to 150°F. Drain nuts and spread in one layer on a baking pan. Dry nuts in oven for 12 – 24 hours stirring occasionally, until very dry and crisp. A dehydrator may be used instead of an oven. Cool, and chop for cookies. This makes the nuts more digestible and oh, so delicious.
