Directions:
1) Heat oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.

2) In a mixing bowl, add butter and 1 cup powder sugar. With paddle attachment on, beat on low speed until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes. Stir in vanilla extract.

4) Add flour, and mix well. Add finely chopped pecans. With a spatula remove cookie dough from mixing bowl, and refrigerate for 1 hour.

5) Form 1 ˝ Tablespoon of cookie dough into balls

6) Place cookie balls on prepared baking sheets and bake in preheated oven for 11-15 minutes or until puffed and bottom of cookie is golden.

7) Remove cookies from oven and cool them for 5 minutes on baking sheets.

8) Gently toss warm cookies in remaining 1 cup of powder sugar to coat completely. Then transfer coated cookies to wire rack and cool completely.

Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
** Spoon & Sweep method: Use a spoon to fill measuring cup with flour until required amount is obtained. Scooping measuring cup directly into flour bag will firmly pack flour resulting in too much flour required for recipe.
** I suggest using a food processor to chop the pecans. The finer they are the better they blend with the cookie dough.
