Description

Ingredients

• 2 Cups Butter, room temperature
• ½ Cup plus 2 Tablespoons powdered sugar (plus more for coating)
• 4 Cups flour
• 1 Tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2½ Cups chopped pecans

Directions

• Pre-heat oven to 325°F
• Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper
• Cream together butter and powdered sugar; add in flour, vanilla, and pecans. Mix well
• Using your hands, roll the dough into small balls from ¼ to ½ (they puff up while they cook)
• Bake about 18 minutes or until the bottoms of the cookies are a pale gold color
• While the cookies are still hot, toss them in powdered sugar to coat and place them on a wire cooling rack
• Heres what makes the cookies extra delicious. That powdered sugar you just coated them with... the heat makes it melt into the cookie - once the cookies are cooled, toss them in another coating of powdered sugar. YUM
