Ingredients

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter and ½ cup powdered sugar.
  • Add vanilla extract and mix until combined.
  • Add flour gradually, while mixing. The dough will be crumbly but it will eventually come together.  
  • Mix in chopped pecans.
  • Scoop out small portions of the dough and roll into balls.
  • Place them on a cookie tray, lined with parchment paper.
  • Chill in the fridge for 20 minutes.
  • Then, bake at 350 degrees F for 13-14 minutes or until cookies are firm along the edges and golden brown. 
  • Allow the cookies to cool down for 5 minutes or until they are cool enough to handle.
  • Then, remove them from the tray and roll warm cookies in a bowl of 1 ¼ cup powdered sugar until fully coated. Since the cookies are warm, they will melt the sugar slightly and become slightly sticky but don't worry.
  • Let these cookies cool down completely.
  • Then, roll them in powdered sugar again and enjoy!
