Preparation
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees and line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper.
1. In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle, cream together the confectioners sugar, butter and vanilla at medium speed until smooth and pale, about 2 minutes. Mix in the flour and pecans at low speed. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, at least 30 minutes.
2. Roll tablespoons of the dough into balls and arrange them on the prepared baking sheets, 1 inch apart. Bake the cookies for about 20 minutes, until cooked through and lightly golden on the bottom. Transfer the cookies to a rack to cool slightly. Coat the warm cookies with confectioners sugar and let cool completely. Sift more confectioners sugar over them and serve.
