Dessert Recipes : Walnut Butter Cookies

Ingredients :

1/2 pound butter
1/4 cup sugar
1 tsp. baking powder
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
1/3 cup confectioner's sugar

Melt butter and place in a large bowl to cool. Add sugar and baking powder and mix well. Add flour one-half cup at a time and beat with a hand mixer in between additions. The dough will start to get thick. Stir in walnuts and mix. Take about 1 - 2 tablespoons of dough and roll into 2-inch logs and place on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 350 for 15 - 18 minutes or until lightly browned. Allow cookies to cool and sprinkle with confectioner's sugar. Make about 2 dozen cookies.

Tips : Use your favorite sugar substitute.
