???????? Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup finely chopped pecans
- Additional powdered sugar for rolling
???????? Instructions:
-
Begin by preheating your oven to 325°F (165°C), creating the warm ambiance that is the hallmark of holiday baking. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, preparing the canvas for your winter wonder.
-
In a mixing bowl, commence your culinary symphony by creaming together the softened butter and powdered sugar. With each stroke, a cloud of anticipation forms, promising delight with every bite.
-
Introduce the vanilla extract, a drop of liquid magic that infuses the dough with warmth and familiarity. Mix until the essence of vanilla becomes the heartbeat of your creation.
-
Gradually add the all-purpose flour, a cornerstone ingredient that transforms your dough into a canvas of endless possibilities. The finely chopped pecans join the mix, providing texture, flavor, and a touch of elegance.
-
With skilled hands, shape the dough into small balls, each one a promise of joy waiting to unfold. Place them on the parchment-lined baking sheet, arranging them like snowballs waiting to be caught.
-
As the cookies bake, your kitchen transforms into a sanctuary of scents. After 15-20 minutes, remove the cookies from the oven—their appearance delicate and golden, like treasures from a winter’s tale.
-
In a whimsical touch, allow the cookies to cool slightly before rolling them in powdered sugar while they’re still warm. This step adds a layer of sweetness that will remind you of freshly fallen snow.
-
After they’ve cooled, give the cookies one final embrace of powdered sugar, creating the iconic snowball look that captures the essence of winter wonder.
