Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, powdered sugar, salt, and ground pecans or walnuts until well combined.

  3. 3

    Cream Butter

    In another bowl, cream the softened butter using a hand mixer or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add Vanilla

    Add the vanilla extract to the creamed butter and mix until well incorporated.

  5. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.

Baking

  1. 6

    Shape Cookies

    Using your hands, shape the dough into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart.

  2. 7

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the bottoms are lightly golden. The tops should remain pale.

  3. 8

    Cool and Dust

    Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, dust the cookies generously with powdered sugar.
