500 g flour, for soft dough

Optional: 1 cup walnuts, pounded

Make soft dough from the ingredients, adding the flour little to little. Roll small balls and bake in a preheat oven to 350ºF (180ºC) them until they get golden-brown. While the cookies are still warm, you can roll them with powdered sugar and finely pounded walnuts.
