Ingredients

• 226 grams unsalted butter
• 60 grams powdered sugar (for dough)
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 240 grams all-purpose flour
• 120 grams finely chopped pecans or walnuts
• 120 grams powdered sugar (for coating)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter and powdered sugar together using a hand or stand mixer until light and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Mix in the pure vanilla extract until incorporated.

Step 4

Gradually add the all-purpose flour and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Fold in the finely chopped pecans or walnuts until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 6

Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, portion out the dough and roll it into 1-inch balls. Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.

Step 7

Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the bottoms are lightly golden. The tops of the cookies should remain pale.

Step 8

Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool for 5-10 minutes, or until they are still warm but cool enough to handle.

Step 9

Place the powdered sugar for coating in a shallow bowl. Roll each warm cookie gently in the powdered sugar, coating it completely, then place on a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Once the cookies have cooled, roll them in the powdered sugar a second time for a thicker and sweeter coating.

Step 11

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. Enjoy these delightful cookies with coffee or tea!
