Step 1
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and 1⁄2 cup confectioners’ sugar. Stir in the flour, walnuts, vanilla, and water. Mix well. Cover and chill until firm enough to shape with your fingers.
Step 2
Preheat oven to 400°F. Form the dough into small balls and place on a greased baking sheet.
