In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, 1/2 cup powdered sugar, and vanilla extract with an electric mixer until smooth.
Gradually mix in the flour, finely chopped pecans, and salt until completely incorporated.
3️⃣ Shape the Cookies:
Roll the dough into walnut-sized balls and place them 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets.
4️⃣ Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, until the bottoms are light golden brown but the tops remain pale. Avoid overcooking.
5️⃣ Cool and Coat:
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them sit on the baking sheets briefly before transferring to wire racks.
Place 1/3 cup powdered sugar in a shallow bowl. While the cookies are still hot, roll them in the powdered sugar to coat, then return them to the wire racks to cool completely.
Once cooled, roll the cookies in the powdered sugar once more for a perfect finish.
6️⃣ Serve and Enjoy:
Enjoy your delightful snowball cookies!
