Ultimate Snowball Cookies
Ingredients
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup very finely chopped pecans
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup powdered sugar, or more as needed
Instructions
1
Collect and prepare all necessary components for the recipe.
2
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) in advance of commencing the cooking process.
3
Combine butter, 1/2 cup powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a large mixing container using an electric mixer until the mixture is smooth and even.
4
Gradually blend flour, pecans, and salt into the main mixture until it is completely combined and free of any lumps.
5
Form the dough into walnut-sized balls, placing them 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets to facilitate even cooking.
6
Place the prepared cookies in the preheated oven and bake until the bottoms are lightly golden brown, but the tops remain pale, taking 12 to 15 minutes.
7
Be cautious not to overcook the cookies: it's better to err on the side of undercooking than overcooking, as this will result in a more desirable texture.
8
Once the cookies are done baking, remove them from the oven and allow them to sit on the baking sheets for a brief period before transferring them to wire racks to cool.
9
Dip the hot cookies in 1/3 cup powdered sugar, then return them to the wire racks to cool further.
10
Finally, once the cookies have cooled completely, roll them in powdered sugar for a second time to achieve the desired level of sweetness.
