Buttery Pecan Snowball Cookies

Buttery Pecan Snowball Cookies are beautiful, delicate and full of rich, buttery pecan flavor. Dusted in powdered sugar, they are such a great holiday treat and one of the easiest cookies you can make.

Ingredients:

1 cup butter, softened

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

2 1/4 cups flour

1 cup finely chopped pecans

1 cup powdered sugar for dusting

 

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350°F.

In a large bowl, cream together the butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy.

Add the salt and vanilla extract and mix until combined.

Gradually add the flour and mix until a soft dough forms.

Fold in the chopped pecans.

Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden.

Let cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Place the powdered sugar in a shallow bowl and roll the cooled cookies in the sugar to coat.

Enjoy!
