Buttery nut-filled cookies, coated with a layer of powdered sugar, these classic cookies are everyone’s favorite holiday treat!
Ingredients
- cup butter softened
½ cup powdered sugar plus more for rolling
- teaspoon vanilla extract
2¼ cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¾ cup finely chopped pecans or walnuts
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Cream together the butter, sugar and vanilla. Slowly add the flour and salt and mix just until combined. Stir in the nuts.
- Scoop into 1-inch balls and round them smooth between your hands. Bake 10-12 minutes, until cookies are set but not browned.
- Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the tray for a minute or two and then roll each warm cookie in powdered sugar and set them a cooling rack.
- Once the cookies have fully cooled, roll them once or twice more in powdered sugar. Store in an airtight container. Enjoy!
Notes: The easiest method I’ve found for coating the cookies in powdered sugar is to put about a cup of powdered sugar in a bowl and roll the warm cookies, a few at a time, through the sugar.
