Ingredients

  • *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.
Ingredientes

Directions

  1. Form Dough: Cream butter with sugar until light and fluffy.  Stir in vanilla extract.
  2. Gradually beat in flour to form a soft dough, then stir in pecans.
  3. Roll dough into small 1-inch bails and place about 1/2 inch apart on an ungreased baking sheet.
  4. Bake in center of a preheated 325°F oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until very light browned.
  5. Dust with sugar:  Cool cookies on baking sheet about 1 minute, then loosen with a spatula and carefully toss in a bag of confectioners sugar until well coated.  Cool thoroughly on a rack, then store in a single layer in an airtight container.
  6. Sift additional confectioners sugar over tops of cookies at serving time if needed.

I like how the pecans are in larger (but still small) pieces in this cookie. Sometimes snowball cookies require you to grind the pecans too finely. I also prefer the granulated sugar versions over the powdered sugar versions. This is my go-to snowball cookie recipe.

This is from A Dozen Dixie Recipes! I've been looking for these forever! They used to be called "Shorties." I leave out the granulated sugar, but they can be made both ways.

  • *Método de cuchara y barrido: use una cuchara para llenar la taza de medir con harina hasta obtener la cantidad requerida. Si coloca la taza de medir directamente en la bolsa de harina, empacará la harina con firmeza y se necesitará demasiada harina para la receta.

  1. Instrucciones:

  2. Formar la maza: Bata la mantequilla y el azúcar hasta que se convierta en una crema suave y esponjosa. Agregue el extracto de vainilla y mezcle.
  3. Gradualmente agregue la harina y bata hasta formar una masa suave, luego agregue las pecanas y mezcle.
  4. Haga bolitas de 1 pulgada con la masa y coloque en una al lado de la otra con una separación de 1/2 pulgada en una bandeja de hornear sin engrasar.
  5. Hornee en el centro del horno precalentado a 325 F por alrededor de 20 a 25 minutos o hasta que están un poquito doradas.
  6. Espolvoree con azúcar: Deje que las galletas enfríen en la bandeja de hornear por alrededor de 1 minuto, luego aflójelas con una espátula y cuidadosamente ponga en una bolsa con azúcar en polvo para confituras hasta que se forma una buena capa. Deje que se enfrié totalmente en una rejilla, y luego guarde en un contenedor sellado al vacio en una sola capa.
  7. Agregue con un colador más azúcar en polvo para confituras sobre las galletas cuando sea el momento de servirlas.
