Pecan snowball cookies are perfect for the holidays. Not only is this recipe simple and easy, it is the perfect balance of nutty, sweet, and buttery.

Ingredients
- 1 cup butter 2 sticks, softened
- ⅓ cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 2 cups pecans
- 2 cups flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 ¼ cups powdered sugar
Instructions
- Chop pecans - you want a mixture of finely chopped and very finely chopped. I like to do this by hand, but if you want to use a food processor just divide the pecans in half, processing one half very fine and the other half not as fine.
- Whisk together flour, pecans and salt.
- Cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
- Add vanilla and mix well.
- Mix in flour mixture until just combined. The dough will be very crumbly but hold together when pressed.
- Use a tablespoon measure to form rounded balls. If you want the dough to be a crescent shape, place the ball of dough on the cookie sheet and gently form it into a crescent.
- Bake at 325 degrees F for 18-20 minutes, the dough should be light and dry and just starting to brown on the bottom.
- Cool for 30 minutes and then toss in powdered sugar.
- I find the easiest way to do this is to gently place cookies in a gallon size bag, add the powdered sugar, and gently move the bag around until all the cookies are coated.
