Pistachio Polvorones - Mexican Wedding Cookies

In a medium bowl, mix together 1 and 3/4 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 cup of confectioner sugar, and 1 package (3.4 ounces) of pistachio flavored pudding mix until well combined.

Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla and 1 cup of melted salted or unsalted butter to the mixture. If using unsalted butter, add 1/4 teaspoon of salt.

Mix the ingredients until there are no visible specks of flour.

Add 1 cup of finely chopped walnuts or pistachios and mix until the dough comes together.

Shape the dough into 1-inch rounds and place them on a non-stick cookie sheet about 1 inch apart. Gently press each one down as you set it down.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Bake the cookies for 15 to 17 minutes until the bottom has a nice golden color.

Allow the cookies to cool for 10 to 15 minutes, then roll them in the remainder of the powdered sugar.
