Help cookie recipe needed...

I'm not sure the name of the cookie, I just know it as the cute round cookie's covered in powder sugar. They have nuts in them too.

I just tried a recipe and it ended up from round little balls to flat cookie's once the butter melted.

2. Sounds like Swedish Butterballs, My sister makes them.

And their are addictive, I know there is a trick to make them. Is it frezzing overnight (or am I confusing them with gingerbread??).

That all I can tell you, I just eat, I do not cook.

Here is a recipe:

1 cup butter or stick margarine, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
3/4 cup finely chopped nuts
1/4 teaspoon salt
powdered sugar

Heat oven to 400
Mix butter, 1/2 cup powdered sugar and the vanilla in a large bowl. Stir in flour, nuts and salt until dough holds together.
Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Place about 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until set but not brown. Immediately remove from cookie sheet to wire rack; cool 5 minutes.
Roll warm cookies in powdered sugar; cool on wire rack 5 minutes. Roll in powdered sugar again.

5. Thanks

Looks like I had "a" recipe it just had to much butter. It called for 3/4 cup. Also these have more flour.

Thanks
