How to Make Pecan Meltaways
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter and ¾ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and beat until combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon salt, and 1 cup chopped pecans.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Roll the dough into 1-inch balls.
- Place the balls onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
- Remove from oven and immediately roll the warm cookies in powdered sugar.
- Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack.
- Once cooled, gently roll the cookies in powdered sugar again for an extra-thick, delightful coating.
