Heat oven to 325°F Fold 1 sheet of foil in half lenghtwise. Fold double-thickness foil crosswise into 1-inch pleats to make an "accordion-pleated" pan. Place on ungreased cookie sheet. Repeat with second sheet of foil. In large bowl, beat margarine and sugar until light and fluffy. Add vanilla and eggs; beat well. Add flour and salt; mix well. Stir in walnuts. Drop 1 rounded teaspoon of dough into each fold of foil.(Dough spreads during baking to form 4 1/2 to 5 inch-long cookies.). Bake at 325°F for 18 to 26 minutes or until golden brown. Remove cookies from foil; cool completely. Turn foil over for second baking. If desired, baked cookies can be sprinkled with powdered sugar or frosted with a powdered sugar glaze.
