- 1. Preheat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

- In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and 1 cup of powdered sugar together until light and fluffy (about 3-5 minutes).
- 3. Add Flavors
- Stir in the vanilla extract. Gradually add the all-purpose flour and chopped nuts, mixing until a soft dough forms.
- 4. Shape the Cookies
- Roll tablespoon-sized portions of dough into balls (about one inch in diameter) and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.
- 5. Bake
- Bake for 12-15 minutes until the bottoms are just starting to turn golden.
- 6. Dust & Cool
- Allow cookies to cool for about five minutes before rolling them in additional powdered sugar while still warm. For an extra snowy effect, roll again after they’ve cooled completely.
