Ingredients

1 cup butter
0.5 cup white sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup chopped pecans
0.33 cup confectioners' sugar for decoration

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
In a large bowl, beat the butter on medium speed for 30 seconds until creamy. Add sugar and continue beating until light and fluffy. Gradually add flour and mix on low speed until just combined. Gently stir in the pecans.
Shape the cookie dough into one-inch balls and arrange them on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake in the preheated oven until the edges are lightly golden brown, approximately 20 minutes. Transfer the baked cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once the cookies are completely cooled, gently roll them in confectioners' sugar until fully coated.
