Step 1: Cream together confectioners' sugar, salt, butter and vanilla in a large bowl.
Step 2: Gradually stir in flour (dough will become progressively stiffer).
Step 3: Work nuts into the dough using your hands.
Step 4: Let chill 10 minutes to firm; preheat oven to 375F.
Step 5: Form dough into 1-inch balls; place about two inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Place about a cup of confectioners' sugar into a zip-top sandwich-size bag.
Step 6: Bake 8 minutes, or until lightly browned (be careful, the bottoms burn easily).
Step 7: Immediately upon taking the cookies out of the oven, place them in the bag of confectioners' sugar and shake to coat well.
Step 8: Place cookies on a cooling rack and allow to cool completely.
Step 9: When cookies are completely cooled, shake again in confectioners' sugar to coat.
Step 10: For a holiday change, you can mix some coloured sugar into the confectioners' sugar for the final coating.
