Heat oven 350°F. Cream butter; add sugar and egg yolks; mix well. Blend in vanilla, salt, and flour. Shape into balls and dip them into slightly beaten egg whites, then roll in the nuts. Bake on ungreased cookie sheet for 5 minutes. Remove from oven and make a dent in center of each cookie while still warm (small thimble works great for this). Return to oven and bake 8-10 minutes more. Cool & fill with (powdered sugar) icing or jam or other fillings.
