Today is "Fat Tuesday"...so I am sharing my mother's recipe for Butter Ball Cookies. They are not at all figure friendly, but in keeping tradition a little decadence is in order. These were always a favorite of mine, and I don't think that will ever change. They melt in your mouth!
Butter Ball Cookies
4 oz butter (1 stick)
1 c flour
2 tbsp sugar
2 tbsp water
1 tsp vanilla
1 c chopped walnuts
powdered sugar, for dusting
Cream together flour, sugar, water, and butter. Add vanilla and nuts. Make into balls on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 350 for 12 to 15 minutes. Roll in powdered sugar when cookies are completely cooled.
Makes about 3 dozen depending on size.
