★Ingredients
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup powdered sugar, plus more for coating
1 cup finely chopped pecans
2 cups all-purpose flour
★Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
Mix in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the flour, mixing until well combined.
Stir in the chopped pecans until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Shape the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cookies are set but not browned.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes.
While still warm, gently roll the cookies in powdered sugar to coat them completely.
Allow the cookies to cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
