Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, add the butter and vanilla extract. Using a hand mixer, beat on medium speed until creamy.
- Add the flour, pecans, sugar, and salt to the bowl. Beat until the flour is well combined and a dough forms. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and work in any remaining bits.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill the dough in the fridge for 30 minutes or until it’s workable.
- Using a 1 tablespoon cookie scoop, scoop cookie dough and roll into balls.
- Place on the parchment paper lined cookie sheet about 1 inch apart.
- Place in the preheated oven and bake for 15 to 18 minutes until the top of the cookie is dull and pale in color. It shouldn’t be brown though.
- Let the cookies cool on the cookie sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack or paper towel to continue to cool until they can be handled.
- While they’re still warm, roll in a small bowl of powdered sugar until completely coated.
- Place back on the wire rack or paper towel to cool completely.
- Once the cookies are cooled completely, roll again in the bowl of powdered sugar until completely coated.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
Notes
- PECANS: For extra flavor, toast the pecans on a parchment-lined baking sheet at 350 degrees F for 5 to 10 minutes until golden brown and fragrant.
- STORAGE: Store the cookies at room temperature in an airtight container for 5 to 7 days.
- FREEZE: To freeze the baked cookies, skip the powdered sugar and place them in a freezer container. If you layer them, place a piece of parchment paper or wax paper between the layers so they don’t stick together. Freeze for up to 3 months.
