Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the butter mixture and mix until well combined.
Add Pecans: Gently fold in the finely chopped pecans. The dough will be slightly crumbly, but it should hold together when you squeeze it.
Form Dough Balls: Shape the dough into 1-inch balls (or your desired size) and place them on an ungreased baking sheet.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the cookies are set but not browned.
Roll in Powdered Sugar: Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool slightly. While they are still warm, roll them in powdered sugar until well coated. Place them on a wire rack to cool completely.
Second Coating: Once the cookies have cooled, roll them in powdered sugar once more for an extra coating. This gives them that “snowball” appearance.
Serve: Your Buttery Pecan Snowball Cookies are ready to enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container.
These melt-in-your-mouth cookies are perfect for the holiday season or any time you’re craving a sweet and nutty treat. Enjoy
