Total Time:1 hour 5 minutes
Yield:24 cookies 1x
Ingredients
Scale
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar, plus more for coating
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup finely chopped pecans or walnuts
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
Mix in the vanilla extract and salt until well combined.
Gradually add the flour to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Stir in the finely chopped nuts until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll the chilled dough into 1-inch balls and place them on an ungreased baking sheet.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. While the cookies are still warm, roll them in powdered sugar, coating them generously. Let them cool completely, then roll them in powdered sugar again for a double coating.
