How to make Walnut Kisses

Step 1
Process the walnuts until finely ground.
Step 2
In a bowl, combine the melted butter and half a cup of powdered sugar. Beat well until you achieve a smooth, homogeneous cream.
Step 3
Add 1 cup of flour, the vanilla extract, and the salt to the mixture, and continue beating until everything is well combined.
Step 4
Add the remaining flour and the ground walnuts, mixing again until fully incorporated.
Step 5
Place the dough in a plastic bag and refrigerate for 1 hour.
Step 6
Remove the dough from the refrigerator and form small balls about 2.5 cm (1 inch) in diameter. Arrange them on a baking sheet that has been greased with butter and lightly dusted with flour, leaving about 3 cm (1.2 inches) of space between each ball.
Step 7
Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 15 minutes or until they are lightly golden.
Step 8
Once baked, let them rest for 5 minutes, then sprinkle the remaining powdered sugar over them. Allow them to cool completely.

Tips & Tricks
