Snowball Cookies
These Snowball Cookies transport me back to my childhood. They definitely rank in the top 5 favorite cookies for me, which is saying a lot because I seem to make cookies every other day. These are soft, buttery, and they melt in your mouth.

Ingredients
- 1 cup butter room temperature
- 2 cups flour
- 2 cups finely diced pecans
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 cups powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
- Add the butter, flour, pecans, and granulated sugar to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat on low speed until well combined. Scrape the bowl as needed.
- Roll the dough into 1 inch balls and place on a parchment lined baking sheet. The dough will be very crumbly but should come together in your hands as you roll.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes or until lightly browned.
- Cool on the pan for 5 minutes and then roll in the powdered sugar.
- Store tightly covered for up to 5 days.

Notes
- The dough will be fairly crumbly after mixing, but the warmth and pressure of your hands will help shape it into a ball.
- For a less sweet version, roll these in powdered sugar once. For more coverage, roll them in powdered sugar a second time about 5 minutes after the first coating.
