Makes: about 6 dozen

Preheat the oven to 300 degrees.

In a large bowl, cream butter, then add the sugar and cream until fluffy.

Add nuts and vanilla; mix.

Add flour and mix.

Using 2 teaspoonsful of dough for each cookie, shape into balls. (or use a small ice cream scooper)

Note: These do not increase in size, so the whole batch could fit on one large ungreased cookie sheet.

Bake for 25 minutes.

In a small bowl, mix powdered sugar with nutmeg.

While hot, roll the cookies into the nutmeg mixture.
