Easy Christmas Pecan Balls (Snowballs)


✤Ingredients:

1 cup all purpose flour
1 stick butter (1/2 cup/4 ounces/113 g), softened (I use unsalted)
1 cup finely chopped toasted pecans (or coarsely ground)
3 Tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 cup powdered sugar for rolling

✤Instructions:

1. Put all ingredients except powdered sugar into a large bowl.
2. Mix thoroughly by hand, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
3. Preheat oven to 350° F. Roll cookies by hand into 1-inch balls.
4. Place on ungreased or parchment-lined cookie sheet an inch apart.
5. Bake for 15 minutes or until set but not brown.
6. Let stand on cookie sheet about 2 minutes, then gently roll each one gently in powdered sugar. Let cookies cool.
7. Once they cool (15-20 minutes), roll again (gently) in powdered sugar. Store loosely covered.
