Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup butter (softened)
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar (plus more for rolling)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups flour
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 3/4 cup finely chopped pecans

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 400. Cream together the butter, sugar, and vanilla. Slowly add the flour and salt, and mix just until combined. Stir in the nuts.
  2. Scoop into 1 inch balls and roll them smooth between your hands. Place on baking sheet, then bake for 10-12 minutes. The cookies should be set, but not browned.
  3. Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on a tray for a minute or two. Then, while they are still warm, roll each cookie in powdered sugar and set back on a cooling rack.
  4. Once the cookies have fully cooled, roll them once or twice more in powdered sugar before serving.
