Pre-heat oven to 350°F. Line 1-2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl beat the butter until fluffy, approximately 2 minutes, add the sugar & beat again for 1-2 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, add the nuts, salt and the flour, start with 2 cups and add a tablespoon at a time if needed up to 8 tablespoons. Beat on low until combined.
Bring the dough together with your fingers. Dough should not be dry or wet, but should hold together firmly when formed. Break off small pieces & form into a crescent shape. Place on the prepared baking sheets & bake for approximately 13-15 minutes . While the cookies are still warm roll in icing/powdered sugar or let cool & dust with icing sugar. Enjoy!
