Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and 0.5 cup powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
Mix in the vanilla extract, followed by the Bisquick baking mix. Stir until fully combined.
Fold in the chopped pecans or walnuts, distributing them evenly throughout the dough.
Using your hands, roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet about 1 inch apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Be careful not to overbake.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet.
While the cookies are still warm, roll them generously in the additional powdered sugar. Set them on a wire rack to cool completely.
Once completely cooled, roll the cookies in powdered sugar again to ensure a snowy finish.
Serve and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
