Recipe Instructions

Step 1
Remove cookies from the oven and let sit on the baking sheets briefly before removing to wire racks.
Step 2
Bake in the preheated oven until bottoms are light golden brown but tops are still pale, 12 to 15 minutes. (Try not to let cookies get too brown: it's better to undercook them than to overcook them.)
Step 3
Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Step 4
Beat butter, 1/2 cup powdered sugar, and vanilla with an electric mixer in a large bowl until smooth.
Step 5
Gradually mix in flour, pecans, and salt until completely incorporated.
Step 6
Roll dough into walnut-sized balls and place 2 inches apart onto ungreased baking sheets.
Step 7
Place 1/3 cup powdered sugar in a shallow bowl; roll hot cookies in sugar to coat, then return to the wire racks to cool.
Step 8
Once cooled, roll cookies in the powdered sugar once more.
