These cookies feature a buttery, melt-in-your-mouth texture, complemented by the rich flavor of toasted pecans and a generous dusting of powdered sugar.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar (plus extra for dusting)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup pecans, finely chopped
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
2. Prepare the Dough:
   • In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and 1/2 cup powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
   • Add the vanilla extract and mix until well combined.
   • Gradually add the flour and salt to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined.
   • Fold in the finely chopped pecans, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
3. Shape the Cookies:
   • Scoop out small portions of the dough and roll them into 1-inch balls. Place the balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
4. Bake:
   • Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are lightly golden.
   • Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes.
5. Coat with Powdered Sugar:
   • While the cookies are still warm, roll them in powdered sugar to coat. Place the coated cookies on a wire rack to cool completely.
   • Once the cookies have cooled, roll them in powdered sugar again for a beautiful, snowy finish.
6. Serve:
   • Arrange the Pecan Snowball Cookies on a festive plate and serve. Enjoy with a cup of coffee, tea, or a glass of milk.

Tips:

• Storage: Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
• Variations: Substitute pecans with other nuts such as walnuts or almonds for a different flavor.
