Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract and mix until well combined.
-
Sift the flour and salt together, then gradually add this dry mixture to the butter mixture. Mix until the dough comes together.
-
Stir in the finely chopped pecans until evenly distributed throughout the dough. The mixture will be slightly crumbly, but should hold its shape when pressed together.
-
Using clean hands, scoop out small portions of dough and roll them into 1-inch balls. Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one.
-
Bake the Pecan Butter Balls in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the bottoms are just lightly golden. Be careful not to overbake.
-
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. While still warm, gently roll each cookie in additional powdered sugar until coated.
-
Transfer the coated cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, dust them with a little more powdered sugar for an extra sweet touch.
