1 cup soft butter
½ cup powdered sucanat or powdered sugar
1 t vanilla
1 t salt
2 ¼ cups whole wheat pastry flour

In a mixer bowl add butter, powdered Sucanat, vanilla and salt. Mix on low speed for 1 minute or until well blended. Add flour and mix until just blended and stir in nuts.
Roll dough into 1 inch balls and place on an ungreased cookie sheet, about 1 inch apart. Bake at 350 for 10 to 12 minutes. The cookies should be firm but not too brown. Be careful not to over bake.
