Russian Tea Cakes

I searched cookie cook books for quite some time trying to find a recipe for these cookies. I finally went to the internet and found a yummy recipe! These cookies are one of mine and Michael's favorites!

1 cup butter
1 tsp vanilla extract
6 Tbsp confectioners' sugar
2 cups flour
1 cup chopped walnuts
1/3 cup confections' sugar (for decorating)

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• In a medium bowl, cream butter and vanilla until smooth. Combine the confectioner's sugar and flour. Stir in to the butter mixture until just blended.
• Mix in the chopped walnuts. Rough dough in to 1 inch balls and place them 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet.
• Bake for 12 minutes. When cool, roll in remaining confectioners' sugar.
