Calories: 179kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 2 cups organic all-purpose flour
- 1 cup pecan/walnuts, chopped
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup confectioners' (icing) sugar, sifted for rolling
Instructions
- Preheat to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Cream together butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy, stir in vanilla. Add flour and salt to butter mixture. Then stir in chopped nuts. If dough is too soft, chill for about 30 minutes.
- Form dough into 1 inch balls, place on baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes or just until the cookies start to turn light golden in colour. Remove from oven, and place baking sheet on cooling rack. After about 5 minutes, while the cookies are still warm, NOT hot, begin rolling into the powdered sugar until evenly coated. Roll cookies again once they are cooled completely.
- Store in an air tight container at room temperature for about week. As well, store them in a freezer up to 1-2 months in a air-tight container separated with wax paper.
