In a large bowl, combine the sugar and butter until creamy. Beat in the egg and vanilla until well blended. Add 2/3 cup nuts and remaining ingredients and mix well.
Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour, then remove from refrigerator.
Preheat oven to 350° F.
Lightly flour your hands, scoop out a small portion of dough and roll it into a 1-inch ball. Roll the ball in the remaining nuts until well coated. Place the cookie on the cookie sheet. Press it down a little to keep it from rolling off the pan. Repeat with remaining dough.
Bake cookies for 15 minutes or until lightly browned and firm to the touch. Cool on a wire rack and then devour immediately.
