Pecan Snowball Cookies
Pecan Snowball Cookies, or Mexican wedding cookies, are always a holiday favorite. Dust these in extra powdered sugar before serving.
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup finely chopped pecans
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tsp milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350ºF.
- In a large bowl with an electric mixer, beat butter until smooth. Add in flour, pecans, 1/4 cup powdered sugar, milk and vanilla and stir until a dough forms.
- Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place 1-inch apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake until lightly browned, about 20-25 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes then roll in powdered sugar. Let cool completely and role in powdered sugar again.
Notes
If your dough seems a little soft chill it for 1 hour before baking.
Make sure to roll in powdered sugar once the cookies are cooled so the powdered sugar sticks.
