Butter Pecan Snowball

 


Ingredients:


1 cup butter, softened

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1/4 tsp salt

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

2 cups flour

1 cup pecans, finely chopped

Additional 1 cup powdered sugar for coating

Instructions:


Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and 1/2 cup powdered sugar until smooth.

Mix in the vanilla extract and salt.

Gradually add the flour, blending thoroughly.

Fold in the finely chopped pecans.

Shape the dough into small balls.

Place the balls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring some space between each cookie.

Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 11 minutes, or until lightly golden.

Allow cookies to cool completely on a cooling rack.

Once cooled, roll each cookie in the additional powdered sugar until well coated.

Savor the melt-in-your-mouth goodness of these cookies with a warm beverage or simply on their own. Happy baking! 😊🍪🎉
