Roast nuts in a 350°F / 180°C oven for 10 - 15 minutes.
Traditional
Chop the nuts to convenient size. We can use a mixture of nuts or our favorite one.
Add flour, butter, half of the sweetener, vanilla extract, salt and the chopped nuts into a mixing bowl.
Knead everything together.
Roll the dough into a log so it will be easier to measure out similar sized balls.
Measure out the desired sized balls. We like walnut sized balls that are about 0.7 oz / 20g.
Roll the dough into balls then place them onto a parchment lined baking tray.
Place them into a 375°F / 180°C oven until golden brown spots start to appear on them for about 30 minutes. Later they will be a bit more forgiving but now handle them with care.
Spread the other half of the powdered sweetener on a tray and roll the hot balls into until all sides are covered.
Sift a bit more powdered sweetener over the cookies then serve.
