Snowballs
Snowballs are technically Mexican wedding cakes or Russian teacakes; small, buttery, rich, melt-in-your-mouth cookies with finely chopped nuts!
Set the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees C).
In a bowl, add 1/2 cup of powdered sugar; reserve.
The remaining 1/2 cup powdered sugar, butter, and vanilla are smoothed out in a big bowl using an electric mixer.
Salt, pecans, and flour should all be thoroughly combined.
Place dough balls on ungreased baking sheets 2 inches apart, rolled into walnut-sized balls.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the bottoms are light golden brown but the tops are still light in color.
(Avoid letting cookies become overly browned; it’s better to undercook than overcook.) After taking the cookies out of the oven, let them cool for a moment before transferring them to wire racks.
