RUSSIAN TEACAKES

1 cup soft butter
1/2 cup sifted powdered sugar
1 t. vanilla
2 1/4 cup sifted flour
1/4 t. salt
3/4 cup finely chopped nuts

Mix the butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla thoroughly. Sift flour and salt together and stir into the butter mixture. Mix in the chopped nuts. Chill dough. Roll into 1 inch balls. Place on ungreased baking sheet ( cookies do not spread). Bake until set, but not brown, about 10-12 minutes at 400 degrees. While still warm roll in powdered sugar. Cool. Roll in powdered sugar again. Makes 4 dozen cookies.
