Ingredient
1
Preheat oven to 325°F. Line a cookie sheet with silpat or parchment. Process pecans and powdered sugar.
2
For approximately a minute, pulse the pecans and powdered sugar until the nuts are finely crushed.
3
You should put the pecan mixture, the butter, and the vanilla extract into the bowl of your mixer.
4
Make sure that everything is thoroughly mixed together. Put the flour and salt into a separate basin and stir them together.
5
Add the flour mixture to the mixer bowl gradually, and beat on low speed until all of the ingredients are well combined.
6
Use a small cookie scoop to scoop out cookie dough, or scoop up tablespoonfuls and roll the dough between your palms to form a ball.

After the cookie sheet is ready, place the balls on it. After the cookies have baked for 18 to 20 minutes, move them to a wire rack and allow them to cool fully.

Sift about a cup of powdered sugar into a bowl, and then completely coat each cooled cookie with the sugar.
