Description

Buttery, nutty cookies that melt in your mouth and sparkle with powdered sugar.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup Butter
  • 1 cup Pecans, finely chopped
  • ½ cup Powdered sugar
  • 2 cups All-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Cream butter and ½ cup powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
  2. Add vanilla and salt, then mix in flour until dough forms.
  3. Fold in finely chopped pecans for a crunchy, nutty texture.
  4. Roll dough into small balls and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  5. Bake for 12–15 minutes, until just set and lightly golden on the bottom.
  6. Cool slightly, then roll warm cookies in powdered sugar.
  7. Once fully cooled, roll again for a soft, snowy finish.

Notes

  • Ensure the butter is at room temperature for easier creaming.
  • For a more intense pecan flavor, toast the pecans before chopping.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
