Russian Tea Cakes

My favorite Christmas cookies since way back when. AKA Mexican Wedding Cakes, Snowballs...

2 c butter
1 c sugar
2 tsp vanilla
5 c flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 finely chopped walnuts

Cream butter, sugar and vanilla. Add flour, salt and mix together until even though sandy in texture. Chill overnight and roll into 3/4 inch balls. Bake at 400 for about 10 minutes, until just golden on bottom. Roll in powdered sugar just before they cool. Makes about 11 dozen.
