Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper, and set aside.
- Whip the butter and sugar together in a large bowl with a hand mixer at medium speed until creamy. This will take a few moments.
- Add the vanilla and flour. Mix to combine.
- Fold in chopped nuts with a rubber spatula, stirring until just combined. The dough will be very soft.
- Scoop the cookies onto the prepared baking sheets with a 1-tablespoon cookie scoop. Give the cookies a little space between each one.
- Bake for 18-19 minutes or until a light golden brown.
- Let cool for about five minutes.
- When you can handle with your fingers, roll each warm cookie in extra powdered sugar. I used a fork to help me with this step.
- Let cool completely before serving and enjoying!
Notes
- This recipe originally appeared on The Foodie Affair and republished here as a part of the Freaky Friday collaboration. I added weight measurements.
- *You may also use chopped walnuts, if desired. I chose pecans because I love them. You may also omit the nuts. Sandra says that the texture will change, but these cookies may be made nut free.
- How to store: Store in an airtight food storage container at room temperature for up to 5 days. If layering, place parchment paper between the layers.
- How to freeze: Dollop the cookie dough onto a parchment or wax paper-lined baking sheet. Freeze in the freezer until solid, then transfer to an airtight freezer-safe container.
