Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 226 grams unsalted butter
- 60 grams powdered sugar (for dough)
- 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 240 grams all-purpose flour
- 120 grams finely chopped pecans or walnuts
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 120 grams powdered sugar (for coating)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter and powdered sugar (for dough) together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Mix in the vanilla extract until just incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, mixing on low speed until combined.
Stir in the finely chopped pecans or walnuts by hand until evenly distributed.
Shape the dough into 1-inch (about 2.5 cm) balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are just beginning to turn golden. The tops should remain pale in color.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool slightly but remain warm.
While the cookies are still warm, gently roll each one in the powdered sugar (for coating) until fully coated. Place them on a clean plate or wire rack to finish cooling.
Once completely cooled, roll the cookies in powdered sugar a second time for an extra snowy finish.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. Enjoy your Wonderful Wedding Cookies!
