Buttery, sweet, and simple cookies rolled in powdered sugar, perfect for any occasion or sweet craving.
# Components:
→ Dry Ingredients
01 - 2 cups all-purpose flour
02 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
→ Butter & Sugar
03 - 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
04 - 1/2 cup powdered sugar, plus extra for coating
05 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
→ Nuts
06 - 3/4 cup finely chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
# Method steps:
01 - Heat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a large bowl, beat softened butter and 1/2 cup powdered sugar until light and fluffy, then stir in vanilla extract.
03 - Mix in flour and salt until just combined, then fold in nuts if using; dough will be crumbly but hold together when pressed.
04 - Scoop tablespoon-sized portions, roll into balls, and space about 1 inch apart on prepared baking sheet.
05 - Bake for 13 to 15 minutes until bottoms are lightly golden and tops remain pale.
06 - Let cookies cool for 5 minutes, then roll carefully in powdered sugar while warm; cool completely on a wire rack and roll again for a snowy finish.
