TOASTED SHORTBREAD TRIANGLES

Cream together 1/2 cup (1/4 lb) Butter and 2 tbsp powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Gradually add 1 cup flour (unsifted); beat until well-blended. Stir in 1 tsp vanilla and 1 cup finely chopped walnuts. Form into a roll about 1" in diameter then flatten sides to make a square log. Wrap and chill at least 1 hour or as long as overnight.

Cut in 1/2" slices, then cut each slice in half diagonally to form triangles. Arrange, slightly apart on ungreased cookie sheets and bake in a 300* oven until lightly browned - 40 to 45 minutes. Remove from pans and roll in powdered sugar to coat; let cool.

Makes 5 dozen cookies.
