• 1 cup soft margarine
• 1/2 c. powdered sugar
• 2 cups sifted flour
• 1/4 t. salt
• 2 t. black walnut flavoring
• 2 cups chopped black walnuts

Gradually add 1/2 cup of powdered sugar to margarine. Cream and add black walnut flavoring. Add flour, salt, and nuts. Blend well. Use a few drops of water if necessary to make the dough stick together better. Chill. Shape into balls. Place on an oiled cookie sheet. Bake 15 to 18 mins. at 350°.

Roll baked balls in powdered sugar when they are still hot and again when cool. (This was Vernie’s recipe, and I made them many times during the Christmas holidays when our kids were small.)
