Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Combine butter and vanilla in a mixing bowl until smooth (I used my mixer with the paddle attachment)

Add 1/2 cup of the powdered — My daughter loved that she could do this herself

Slowly pour in the flour until well mixed, followed by the walnuts or pecans

Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place on a cookie sheet — Another great activity for the kiddo!

Bake 12-15 minutes or until lightly browned — careful the bottom doesn't burn!

Let cool for 2-3 minutes

Pour remaining powdered sugar on a plate then roll the cooled cake drops in the plate of sugar about 1-2 times each

Enjoy!
