My Grandma Billie made these for me ever since I was a little girl. This is my second Christmas without her - I think about her a lot, but especially at the holidays. She taught me to make bows from spools of ribbon and while she wasn't the best baker (her chocolate chip cookies were famous for being, well, not that good), she always came through when it came to these amazing little bits of powdered heaven. She also made a mean coconut cake (a post for another day - she usually pulled that one out at Easter). So, here is Grandma's recipe. I have to change the flour to a GF flour blend and omit the nuts for Whit, but for everyone else, here is the original.
Grandma's Wedding Cookies
Preheat oven to 300*
1 cup butter
1/4 to 1/3 cup confectioners sugar
2 t. vanilla
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup chopped nuts
1 T. water
Put all ingredients together and mix. Shape into balls and slightly press them. Bake on an ungreased cookie sheet for 20 minutes. Roll in confectioners sugar and serve.
