Description
Classic snowball cookies with pecans, buttery and coated in powdered sugar, perfect for a cozy treat.
Ingredients
1 cup butter, softened
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups finely chopped pecans
Powdered sugar
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 325°F.
In a medium bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until smooth and creamy.
Stir in the vanilla extract and beat until well combined.
Gradually add the flour and pecans, mixing at low speed and scraping the bowl occasionally, until the dough is thoroughly combined.
Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheets.
Bake for 16 to 18 minutes, or until the cookies are very lightly browned.
Allow them to cool for 5 minutes, then roll the warm cookies in powdered sugar.
Once cooled, roll them in powdered sugar again.
Notes
Make sure the butter is softened for easy creaming.
Roll the cookies in powdered sugar twice for the signature snowy look.
Store cookies in an airtight container to keep them fresh.
