Tender, buttery cookies with crunchy pecans and a snowy sugar coating — irresistible and nostalgic!
⭐ Ingredients:
- 🧈 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 🍚 1/2 cup powdered sugar, plus more for rolling
- 🍦 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 🌾 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 🌰 1 cup finely chopped pecans
- 🧂 1/4 tsp salt
👩🍳 Directions:
1️⃣ Preheat Oven:
Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2️⃣ Cream Butter & Sugar:
In a large bowl, beat butter and powdered sugar together until light and fluffy. Add vanilla and mix well.
3️⃣ Add Dry Ingredients:
Gradually add flour, salt, and chopped pecans. Mix until a soft dough forms — it may seem crumbly but will hold when pressed.
4️⃣ Shape the Cookies:
Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place them 1 inch apart on the baking sheet.
5️⃣ Bake:
Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until bottoms are light golden. Do not overbake — they should stay pale on top.
6️⃣ Roll in Sugar:
Let cool for 5 minutes, then roll warm cookies in powdered sugar. Let cool completely, then roll a second time for that perfect snowy look! ❄️
