2 cups all-purpose flour
¼ cup finely chopped pecans
1/8 tsp salt
¾ cup granulated sugar
9 Tbs butter, softened
2 tsp vanilla extract
¼ cup powdered sugar

1. Preheat oven to 350°F.

2. Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with knife. Combine flour, pecans, and salt, stirring well with a whisk.

3. Place granulated sugar and butter in a medium bowl; beat with a mixer at medium speed until fluffy (about 2 minutes). Beat in vanilla extract. Beating at low speed, gradually add flour mixture, and beat just until combined (mixture will be crumbly).

4. Shape dough into 34 (1-inch) balls (about 1 Tbsp. each). Place dough balls 2 inches apart on baking sheets coated with cooking spray. Bake for 20 minutes or until lightly browned.

5. While cookies are still hot, sift powdered sugar evenly over tops. Remove from pan; cool completely on wire racks.

Cooking Tips
*It is important for your butter to be soft when you prepare the dough so it will hold together nicely when you shape it into balls.

“Another addicting cookie recipe- great vanilla flavor combined with the pecans! It was a little strange making them as the dough is a mass of crumbs, but they all come together when you form the balls and they turn out great. If you try to eat them while warm, they will crumble apart- they need time to set.”
