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)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Mix in the vanilla extract until combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the all-purpose flour, mixing on low speed until just incorporated. Avoid overmixing.

Step 5

Fold in the finely chopped pecans using a spatula or wooden spoon, ensuring even distribution throughout the dough.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 13-15 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are just beginning to turn golden.

Step 8

Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes.

Step 9

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.

Step 10

Once the cookies are completely cooled, roll them in powdered sugar one more time for a perfect, snowy finish. Serve and enjoy!
