Vanille Nusstaler Vanilla Nut Coins

Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

2. Add the vanilla extract and salt to the mixture, stirring well to combine.

3. Gradually incorporate the flour into the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms. If the dough feels too sticky, you can add a little extra flour.

4. Gently fold in the finely chopped nuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

5. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

6. Roll the dough into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Use the tines of a fork to gently press down on each ball to create a coin shape.

7. Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until they are just starting to turn golden brown around the edges.

8. Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

9. Once the cookies have cooled, dust them generously with powdered sugar for a snowy finish.
