Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup finely chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Extra powdered sugar for rolling
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream the butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
- Mix in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the flour, chopped nuts, and salt, mixing until just combined.
- Shape the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Let the cookies cool for 5 minutes, then roll them in powdered sugar while still warm.
- Once fully cooled, roll them in powdered sugar again for a snowy finish.
Notes
- Store in an airtight container for up to a week.
- For a nut-free version, omit nuts or replace with toasted coconut.
- Ensure the butter is softened but not melted for the right texture.
