Russian Teacakes--Mega Batch

Prepare a bowl of confectioner's sugar to roll cookies in when baked, and waxed paper to cool them on.

4 Cups Butter or Margarine (Softened not melted)
2 Cups Confectioner's Sugar
4 teaspoons vanilla
Cream together.

In another bowl mix together:
9 Cups all Purpose Flour
1 teaspoon Salt
3 Cups Finely Chopped Nuts

Work in the flour/salt/nuts. Mixture may be hard to mix...if you don't have a heavy duty mixer you should do this by hand.
Shape into balls. Bake on ungreased baking sheet at 400 for 10 to 12 minutes. Cookies will not look brown so watch your time carefully. As soon as you can handle the hot cookies, roll in a bowl of confectioner's sugar. Cookies will be very fragile so be careful. Set the rolled cookies on waxed paper to cool. When cool roll again in confectioner's sugar. Unbaked dough can be frozen in zip loc bags and thawed in refrigerator. Thaw and then continue to roll balls in confectioner's sugar and bake as above.
