How to cook deliciously - Best Snowball Cookies

1. Stage

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

2. Stage

Beat butter, 1/2 cup powdered sugar, and vanilla with an electric mixer in a large bowl until smooth. Gradually mix in flour, pecans, and salt until completely incorporated. Roll dough into walnut-sized balls and place 2 inches apart onto ungreased baking sheets.

3. Stage

Bake in the preheated oven until bottoms are light golden brown but tops are still pale, 12 to 15 minutes. (Try not to let cookies get too brown: it's better to undercook them than to overcook them.)

4. Stage

Remove cookies from the oven and let sit on the baking sheets briefly before removing to wire racks.

5. Stage

Place 1/3 cup powdered sugar in a shallow bowl; roll hot cookies in sugar to coat, then return to the wire racks to cool. Once cooled, roll cookies in the powdered sugar once more.
