1/4 teaspoon Salt

3/4 Cup Finely chopped nuts



Cream butter & sugar, add extract, flour, salt and nuts. Mix well. Form into dime size balls,the smaller the cookies are made, the better. Bake on an ungreased baking sheet at 400 degrees for 12-15 minutes. (they don't brown much but they burn easily!)

These cookies are also called butterballs.
