Begin by preheating your oven to 350\u00b0F (175\u00b0C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure even baking and easy cleanup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 \u00bc cups of all-purpose flour, \u00bd cup of powdered sugar, <\/p>\n\n\n\n
and a pinch of salt. Cut in 2 sticks of butter at room temperature until the mixture is crumbly but starts to come together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Stir in 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract and 1 cup of finely chopped pecans until evenly distributed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The dough should be soft yet hold its shape when rolled into balls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Use a teaspoon or small cookie scoop to portion out the dough, then roll each piece into a smooth ball with your hands,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
placing them about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet to allow room for gentle spreading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 12\u201315 minutes, or until the bottoms are lightly golden but the tops remain pale, indicating a tender, crumbly interior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
While still warm, roll each cookie in 1 cup of powdered sugar, coating them completely for that signature snowball appearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once fully cooled, give the cookies a second roll in powdered sugar for an extra layer of sweetness and a festive look. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
