Smoky Mountain Snowcap Cookies
6 ounces white chocolate, chopped
3/4 cup butter or margarine, softened
1 cup sugar
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 1/2 cups chopped walnuts, toasted
1/2 cup powdered sugar
Melt white chocolate in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring until chocolate is smooth.
Beat butter and 1 cup sugar at medium speed with an electric mixer 5 minutes or until fluffy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating until blended. Add vanilla, beating well. Add melted chocolate, and beat 30 seconds.
Combine flour and next 3 ingredients; add to butter mixture, beating until blended. Stir in walnuts. Drop dough by heaping tablespoonfuls onto lightly greased baking sheets.
Bake at 350° for 10 to 12 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Remove to wire racks to cool completely. Sprinkle with powdered sugar. Freeze, if desired.

Excellent cookies! I added the rest of the white chocolate chips to the dough and doubled the nutmeg. I used my walnuts up the day before so I used macadamia nuts and they were a fantastic replacement! Will be baking these often!
