Nut Ball Cookie

Ingredients:

– 1 cup of all-purpose flour
– 1/2 cup of unsalted butter, softened
– 1/4 cup of granulated sugar
– 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
– A pinch of salt
– Powdered sugar for rolling

Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Add the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt to the butter mixture, and mix well to combine.
4. Gradually add the flour to the mixture, stirring until a dough forms.
5. Fold in the chopped walnuts until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
6. Shape the dough into small balls, about 1 inch in size, and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Leave some space between each cookie as they will spread slightly while baking.
7. Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
8. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Once the cookies have cooled, roll them in powdered sugar to coat them evenly.
10. Serve your Nut Ball Cookies alongside a hot drink or pack them up in a cute tin to give as a thoughtful homemade gift.
