Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted Butter softened
- 1/2 cup Powdered Sugar
- 2 cups All Purpose Flour
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1 cup Pecans finely chopped
- 1/4 tsp Kosher Salt
For Rolling
- 1 cup Powdered Sugar
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough. In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and ½ cup powdered sugar until creamy. Mix in the vanilla extract. Gradually add the flour and salt, blending until a dough forms. Stir in the finely chopped nuts.
- Chill the Dough. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and chill for 30 minutes. This step ensures the cookies hold their shape while baking.
- Shape the Cookies. Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
- Bake. Bake the cookies for 12-14 minutes or until the bottoms are lightly golden. Allow them to cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet.
- Roll in Powdered Sugar. While still warm, roll the cookies in powdered sugar. Once fully cooled, roll them again for a thick, snowy coating.
