Ingredients:
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar, plus extra for coating
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup finely chopped nuts (such as pecans or walnuts)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
- Stir in the vanilla extract until well combined.
- Gradually add the flour to the butter mixture, mixing until a dough forms.
- Fold in the chopped nuts until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Shape the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cookies are set but not browned.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes.
- While still warm, roll the cookies in powdered sugar to coat them completely.
- Allow the cookies to cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
