Snowdrops

Directions

1. 1
   Beat butter until creamy; add sugar and blend some more. Mix in the flour, nuts, vanilla and water.
2. 2
   Chill until firm enough to shape with your fingers into small round balls.
3. 3
   Bake at 400 F for 10 minutes, but watch them - remember they are snow drops, shouldn't even turn golden.
4. 4
   Roll in sifted icing sugar as soon as you remove them from the oven. Mmm, toasty fingers coated in melted sugar!
