HOW TO MAKE BUTTERY PECAN SNOWBALL COOKIES
This section shows you how to make the recipe with in-process photos and instructions. For the full printable recipe, see the recipe card below.
Step 1: Prepare the cookie batter. Beat to combine the butter, sugar, vanilla, and almond extract. Add the salt and slowly, with your mixer on low speed, mix in the flour. Fold in the chopped pecans.
Step 2: Roll and bake. Scoop out the dough, roll into 1-inch balls, and place the balls on prepared baking sheets at least 1 inch apart. Bake for 10 minutes, or until the bottom edges are light brown.
Tip: If the dough is difficult to work with, put it in the refrigerator to chill for 30 minutes or so.
Step 3: Roll in confectioners sugar. Once the cookies are cooled just enough to handle roll the warm cookies in powdered sugar and place them on a wire rack. For best results, roll them in the sugar once more after they are completely cooled.
