Ingredients
| Quantity | Ingredient | |
|---|---|---|
| ½ | pounds | Unsalted butter |
| ½ | cup | Sugar |
| 1 | teaspoon | Vanilla extract |
| 1 | pinch | Salt |
| ⅓ | cup | Almonds -- ground |
| ⅓ | cup | Black walnuts -- ground |
| ⅓ | cup | Hazelnuts |
| 1¾ | cup | All-purpose flour |

Directions
1. Have butter at room temperature. You may try solid margarine with almost the same success as with butter. Place butter in a mixing bowl. Beat with electric mixer. Gradually add granulated sugar while continuing to beat; stir in vanilla extract and salt. Add ground nuts and flour; roll into a ball and chill for 15 minutes. 2. Break off pieces of dough and roll between palms of your hands to form balls the size of a small walnut. Do not make these too large. Place on ungreased cookie sheets. 3. Bake in preheated 300-degree oven for 18-20 minutes. Remove and roll, while still warm, in powdered sugar.
Yield: About 5 dozen.
