Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsp vanilla
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- ½ tsp salt
- 2 cups pecans, minced
- Powdered Sugar, for topping
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
-
Use an electric hand mixer to cream together 1 cup butter and ¼ cup sugar until fluffy. Add 2 tsp vanilla and mix again.
-
Sift together 2 cups flour and ½ tsp salt. Stir into the butter mixer.
-
Use a wooden spoon to mix in 2 cups pecans. The dough will be crumbly, like sand, but you should be able to form it into balls.
-
Form the cookies into balls about 1 inch across. They will not grow or spread in the oven, so whatever size you form them is the size they will stay. Put the cookies on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake for 25 minutes.
-
Once cooled, dust the cookies with powdered sugar and enjoy!
