Ingredients

The following ingredients have 24 Servings
  • 1 cup butter, room temperature
  • 2 cups powdered sugar, divided
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
  • 3/4 cups finely chopped pecans or walnuts

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  • In the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment mix together the butter, 1 cup of powdered sugar, salt, and vanilla until smooth, scraping the sides of the bowl as necessary.
  • Turn the mixer to low and add in the flour mixing until the mixture holds together. Stir in the nuts.
  • Using a small (1- tablespoon) cookie scoop portion out the dough and roll into 1- inch balls.
  • Place the balls onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes until completely set and lightly browned on the bottom.
  • Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes, until they are cool enough to handle, but still warm.
  • Place the remaining cup of powdered sugar into a bowl and roll each warm cookie in the powered sugar to coat. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
