Ingredients

• 1 cup butter 2 sticks
• 1/2 cup confectioner's sugar plus more for rolling baked cookies
• 2 cups all-purpose flour

Preheat oven to 350º F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

Cream together butter and sugar with electric mixer. Add in the flour and vanilla extract and mix until well combined. Slowly stir in the pecans.

Scoop a teaspoon of the cookie dough and roll between your palms to form a ball. Place the ball of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake until lightly golden, about 12 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool to the touch. Roll in confectioner's sugar.

When ready to serve and once the cookies have completely cooled, roll or dust them with a bit of additional confectioner's sugar, if you prefer.
