Ingredients
Instructions
- Cream butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla well.
- Add flour and chopped pecans to the mixture and form into small balls.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10 to 15 minutes until lightly golden.
- While warm, roll the cookies into powdered sugar.
Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter texture, ensure your butter is at room temperature before creaming. If you don’t have pecans, walnuts or almonds can be great substitutes. You can also experiment with flavored extracts like almond or hazelnut for a unique twist. Make sure to check the cookies at the 10-minute mark to prevent over-baking, as they should remain soft.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these butter balls fresh from the oven for a delightful treat with afternoon tea or coffee. They pair beautifully with Clara'S Oatmeal Fudge Cookies for a mixed cookie platter. Consider dusting them with additional powdered sugar before serving for a beautiful presentation, and they make a lovely gift when packaged in a decorative box.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover butter balls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, they can be frozen for up to three months. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 300°F (150°C) for about 5-7 minutes until warmed through, ensuring they stay soft.

How do I know when the cookies are done baking?
The cookies are done when they turn a light golden color on the bottom and sides. They may appear soft in the center but will firm up as they cool. If you're unsure, you can do a small test batch to determine the perfect baking time for your oven.
