Ingredients
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar (plus more for coating)
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 cup finely chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
Directions
Preheat the oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Make the dough:
In a large bowl, beat together the butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Gradually mix in the flour and salt until well combined. Stir in the chopped nuts if using.
Shape the cookies:
Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake:
Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the bottoms of the cookies are just lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly.

While the cookies are still warm, roll them in powdered sugar to coat. Let them cool completely, then roll again for a snowy, festive finish.
