Ingredients
- 1 cup vegan butter
- 1 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup pecans, finely chopped
Instructions
1. 1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. 2. In a large bowl, beat the vegan butter and 1/2 cup of powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Stir in the vanilla extract.
3. 3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the butter mixture until a dough forms.
4. 4. Fold in the finely chopped pecans, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
5. 5. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
6. 6. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the bottoms of the cookies are lightly golden. Be careful not to overbake.
7. 7. Let the cookies cool slightly, then roll them in the remaining 1 cup of powdered sugar while still warm. Once completely cooled, roll them in powdered sugar again to coat thoroughly.
Notes
These cookies can be made gluten-free by using almond or oat flour instead of all-purpose flour. You can also substitute pecans with walnuts, almonds, or hazelnuts for different flavors.
