Ingredients
Scale
1 cup of unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup of powdered sugar
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
2 cups of all-purpose flour
1 cup of finely chopped pecans
1/4 teaspoon of salt
Extra powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar until smooth and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the vanilla extract and mix for a few seconds.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, chopped pecans, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Shape the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on lined baking sheets.
Bake in your preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the bottoms are lightly golden.
Remove from the oven and let them cool for about 5 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack.
Roll the cookies in powdered sugar while still warm and then let cool completely before rolling in powdered sugar again.
