                                  cup 
                                  almonds, 
ground
 1/3 
                                  cup 
                                  black walnuts, 
ground
 1/3 
                                  cup 
                                  hazelnuts 1 3/4 
                                  cups 
                                  all-purpose flour 1 
                                  cup 
                                  powdered sugar 
Directions: 
 1. Have butter at room temperature. You may try solid margarine with 
almost the same success as with butter. Place butter in a mixing bowl. 
Beat with electric mixer. Gradually add granulated sugar while continuing 
to beat; stir in vanilla extract and salt. Add ground nuts and flour; roll 
into a ball and chill for 15 minutes.
 2. Break off pieces of dough and roll between palms of your hands to 
form balls the size of a small walnut. Do not make these too large. Place 
on ungreased cookie sheets.
 3. Bake in preheated 300-degree oven for 18-20 minutes. Remove and 
roll, while still warm, in powdered sugar.
Yield: About 5 dozen.
