These cookies are the Price (ursprünglich Russian) equivalent to the Heikkinen beloved Moon Cookies, which are really just the Austrian »Vanilla Kipferln« with walnuts instead of almonds. These are a little richer, and also awesome.

• 1 C butter
• 1/2 C powdered sugar
• 2 1/4 C flour
• 3/4 C chopped nuts (walnuts are best; almonds are good too; macadamia nuts make them really rich (and likely inedible -- they're super rich already!))
• 1 t vanilla

mix above ingredients

form dough into little balls, about a nickel-size (they'll expand). It will be dry; don't mind that the dough is crumbly. [NOTE: I had no problems with dry dough, but maybe that was the over-zealot in me going wild with the butter ...]

bake ungreased [sic] in a 350 F oven for 12 - 15 minutes

when cool, roll in powdered sugar.
