AUNT ANGE'S PARESEAN TEA CAKES

1/2 lb. (1 cup) Butter
1/2 cup 4X Powdered Sugar
1 tsp. Vanilla
2 1/4 cups Cake Flour (sift 1x, measure and sift again)
1/4 tsp. Salt
3/4 cups Walnuts Finely Chopped

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (Other recipes say 325 degrees).  
 
Sift flour, measure then sift again with salt.
Cream butter in a bowl, gradually add confectioners' sugar. Beat until light and fluffy.  Blend vanilla into the creamed butter/sugar mixture. 
Add creamed butter and sugar to flour working well with hands. 
Chill dough 1 hour.  Firm into balls 1-inch in diameter and place 2 1/2 inches apart on a heavy baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased.  Bake 14-17 minutes in 400 degree oven.  Watch the cookies closely after the cookies have been in the oven for a little while as they brown suddenly.  
While cookies are still warm, roll in confectioner's sugar again.
