These delightful Holiday Pecan Snowball Cookies are a festive treat perfect for the holiday season.
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Using parchment paper prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
In a mixing bowl, beat the butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Ensure the butter is at room temperature for easier mixing.
In another bowl, combine the flour and baking powder, then gradually add this to the butter mixture, mixing until well combined.
Adding the dry ingredients gradually prevents lumps.
Fold in the chopped pecans until evenly distributed.
Chopping the pecans finely ensures they are evenly distributed.
Shape the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Using a cookie scoop can help achieve uniform sizes.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, or until they are lightly golden.
Rotate the baking sheet halfway through for even baking.
Allow the cookies to cool slightly on the baking sheet, then roll them in powdered sugar while still warm.
Rolling the cookies while warm helps the sugar adhere better.
Transfer the cookies to a cooling rack to cool completely before serving.
Ensure the cookies are completely cool before storing to maintain their texture.
