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.
