Ingredients
- 1 cup butter
- 1/3 cup margarine
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 pinches of salt
- 2 cups walnuts, chopped
- Powdered sugar for rolling
Instructions
-
Prepare Ingredients: Gather all the necessary ingredients and preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
-
Cream Butter Mixture: In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter, margarine, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
-
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour and salt.
-
Mix Dough: Gradually add the sifted flour mixture to the creamed butter mixture, mixing well until fully combined.
-
Incorporate Walnuts: Stir in the chopped walnuts until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
-
Shape Dough: Take portions of the dough and roll them into walnut-sized balls using your hands.
-
Bake: Place the dough balls onto ungreased baking sheets, spacing them apart to allow for spreading during baking. Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
-
Cool and Coat: Remove the baked walnut balls from the oven and let them cool slightly on the baking sheets. While still warm but cool enough to handle, roll each ball in powdered sugar until coated evenly.
-
Serve: Transfer the coated walnut balls to a serving platter or storage container. These treats can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature.
