So ridiculously good!

Ingredients

• 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
• 1 cup powdered sugar, divided
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• 2 cups flour
• 1 cup finely chopped pecans

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350F. Beat butter, 1/2 cup of the powdered sugar and the vanilla in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy. Gradually add flour and pecans, beating on low speed after each addition until well blended.
Shape dough into 1 inch balls. Place 1 1/2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets.
Bake 14 - 15 minutes or until bottoms of cookies are lightly browned. Cool 5 minutes on baking sheets. Roll warm cookies in remaining 1/2 cup powdered sugar until evenly coated; place on wire racks. Cool completely. Store in tightly covered container at room temperature.
