Cocoa Nuggets
1 ¾ C flour
½ C + 3 T cocoa
1/8 t salt
1 C butter
2/3 C sugar
¼ t vanilla
1 C walnuts
3 T powdered sugar
In a medium bowl, combine flour, ½ C cocoa and salt; set aside. In a large bowl with electric mixer at medium speed, cream butter and sugar. Beat until light and fluffy. Gradually add dry ingredients and vanilla and beat just until well blended. Stir in nuts. Wrap and chill dough for at least 1 hour. Preheat oven to 350. Shape dough into 1-inch balls and place on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake for 12 minutes. Let stand on cookie sheets 2-3 minutes before removing to wire racks to cool. In a small bowl, combine remaining cocoa and powdered sugar. When cool enough to handle, roll cookies in mixture.
