Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 0.5 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2.25 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup finely chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts)
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup powdered sugar for rolling

Instructions 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and ½ cup powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Add vanilla extract and mix well.
  3. Gradually add the flour and salt, mixing until just combined. Stir in the chopped nuts.
  4. Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place on the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
  6. While still warm, roll cookies in the remaining powdered sugar. Let cool completely, then roll again in powdered sugar before serving.
