Ingredients:

1 Lb. butter
1/2 Cup confectioners sugar
2 Egg yolks
2 Teaspoons brandy or ouzo (ad lib if necessary)
1 Cup ground walnuts
4-5 Cups sifted flour
2 Teaspoons vanilla
1 Teaspoon baking powder

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350˚ F.

Have butter at room temperature and cream with mixer on medium until it whitens - about 5 minutes. Mix in the sugar and egg yolks and beat again until creamy. Add the liquor and nuts and then slowly mix in one cup of flour with a wooden spoon. As the dough begins to stiffen, add the remaining flour and knead with your hands until smooth. The dough should be on the soft side. Roll it into small balls with your hands and flatten slightly onto ungreased cookie pans.

Bake for 15 - 20 minutes until just slightly golden.

Place the warm cookies in a bowl of confectioners’ sugar and sift additional sugar over the tops.
