How To Make Aunt Betty’s Homestyle German Rocks
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the vanilla extract and mix well. Gradually incorporate the flour and salt until a dough forms.
- Gently fold in the chopped walnuts until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Shape the dough into small balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart to allow for spreading.
- Bake the cookies for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack.
- Once cooled, dust the German Rocks with confectioners’ sugar for a sweet finish.
- Enjoy these delightful treats with a cup of coffee or tea for the perfect snack or dessert.
