Buttery Pecan Snowball Cookies

Ingredients :

• 1 cup butter softened
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 1/4 cups flour
• 1 cup finely chopped pecans
• 1 cup powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions :

1. Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 350 degrees.
2. Cream the butter and powdered sugar in a stand mixer. Adjust the mixer speed to low, then add in the salt, vanilla, flour, and pecans.
3. Into an inch ball, roll the batter and place the balls a few inches apart from each other on parchment-covered baking sheets. Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 11 minutes, making sure to keep an eye on the cookies to not over bake them.
4. Take the cookies out of the oven when done and let them cool a little. Meanwhile, place a cup of powdered sugar in a large Ziploc bag or a wide bowl. Gently coat about 3 to 4 cookies at a time. Scoop the cookies using a fork, shaking gently to remove any excess powdered sugar. On cooling racks, transfer the cookies and let them cool completely before rolling each again in the powdered sugar
