Snowball Cookies
Ingredients
1 cup chopped pecans
2 sticks of unsalted butter, softened
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup powdered sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup powdered sugar
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350. Position rack in the upper third of the oven, place parchment on cookie sheets.
- Toast then cool pecans, about 6 minutes on 350.
- Beat butter, salt, powdered sugar and vanilla on medium speed until very fluffy and well blended. Add the pecans and the flour and mix until combined.
- Portion cookies out into 14g balls. Space about 1 1/4 inches on cookie sheets. Bake until golden at the edges, about 12-15 minutes. Rotate sheet halfway through baking for even browning. Let them stand until cool enough to handle and firm. Toss them in a bag with remaining powdered sugar. Save sugar and toss them again once fully cool.
