Ingredients:
| Ingredients | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Unsalted butter, softened | 1 cup |
| Powdered sugar | 1/2 cup |
| Vanilla extract | 1 teaspoon |
| All-purpose flour | 2 1/4 cups |
| Salt | 1/4 teaspoon |
| Finely chopped pecans | 1 cup |
| Additional powdered sugar for rolling | As needed |
Instructions:
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the butter mixture and mix until well combined.
- Add Pecans: Gently fold in the finely chopped pecans. The dough will be slightly crumbly, but it should hold together when you squeeze it.
- Form Dough Balls: Shape the dough into 1-inch balls (or your desired size) and place them on an ungreased baking sheet.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the cookies are set but not browned.
- Roll in Powdered Sugar: Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool slightly. While they are still warm, roll them in powdered sugar until well coated. Place them on a wire rack to cool completely.
- Second Coating: Once the cookies have cooled, roll them in powdered sugar once more for an extra coating. This gives them that “snowball” appearance.
- Serve: Your Buttery Pecan Snowball Cookies are ready to enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container.
- Perfect for Every Occasion: These melt-in-your-mouth cookies are a delightful addition to your festive gatherings or whenever you’re in the mood for a sweet and nutty treat. Enjoy!
