Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 0.5 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup pecans, finely chopped
- 0.5 cup powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and 0.5 cup powdered sugar together using a hand mixer or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Mix in the vanilla extract until combined.
Gradually add the all-purpose flour, mixing on low speed until just incorporated. Avoid overmixing.
Fold in the finely chopped pecans using a spatula or wooden spoon, ensuring even distribution throughout the dough.
Scoop out 1-tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 13-15 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are just beginning to turn golden.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes.
While the cookies are still warm, roll each one gently in the remaining 0.5 cup of powdered sugar, ensuring they are fully coated. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once the cookies are completely cooled, roll them in powdered sugar one more time for a perfect, snowy finish. Serve and enjoy!
