Instructions

Preheat your oven to 325”F.
In a large mixing bowl cream together the butter and 3/4 cup of the powder sugar until fluffy.
Add the vanilla extract and then little by little add the ground walnuts and hazelnuts. Mix until combined.
Start adding in the flour little by little until mixed in.
Prepare your largest cookie sheet and using a small spoon form the cookies into rounds, the size of a golfball or smaller. You should have about 45 cookies.
Arrange all the cookies on the baking sheet without touching each other. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool off for a few minutes before rolling them over in powdered sugar. Dust with more powdered sugar on top before serving.

Notes

You can replace the walnuts and hazelnuts with a mix of your favorite nuts, pistachios, almonds and pecans work well here too. Maybe even add a handful of mini chocolate chips into the mix.
