1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2-1/4 cups all-purpose flour

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Cream together the butter, sugar and vanilla until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add the flour, salt and chopped nuts and mix until combined. Roll the dough into compact 1-inch balls and arrange on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
