Ingredients
- ½ cup vegan butter, cold
- ¼ cup powdered sugar + ½ cup extra to roll/coat cookies
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch salt
- 1 cup unbleached all purpose white flour
- ½ cup finely chopped walnuts or almonds
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a stand mixer, or medium bowl with a hand mixer or spoon, cream together vegan butter, ΒΌ cup powdered sugar, vanilla and salt.
- In a separate large bowl, combine flour and nuts of choice.
- Gradually add flour mixture to butter mixture; beating after each addition. Mix until until the mixture comes together like a dough.
- Shape into balls and place on a cookie sheet 1 inch apart. Bake for 15 minutes until very lightly browned. Do not over bake.
- Meanwhile prepare a bowl with ½ cup powdered sugar.

- Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Notes
You can use any nut you like. My favourites are walnuts or almonds, but cashews and pecans are also delish!
It is better to under cook these cookies than over cook them. PAY ATTENTION
