Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Beat butter and powdered sugar together until light and fluffy, about 30 seconds or so.
- Add in vanilla and almond extract, mixing until combined.
- Mix in salt, flour and pecans, until combined.
- Roll dough into 1” balls and place on the baking sheet about 1” apart (these cookies do not spread much).
- Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the bottoms of the cookies are very light brown (these can over bake quickly).
- Allow to cool about 5-6 minutes, or until they are still warm but cool enough to touch. Roll each in powdered sugar and allow to cool entirely on parchment paper. Re-roll in powdered sugar.
- Enjoy!
