Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar (plus about 1 cup for rolling)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup finely chopped pecans or walnuts
  • 1 cup mini chocolate chips

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment. Beat butter and 1/2 cup powdered sugar until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add vanilla.
  2. Mix in flour and salt on low, then fold in nuts and mini chocolate chips with a spatula until a thick dough forms.
  3. Roll into 1 inch balls, place on sheets, and bake 12 to 14 minutes until bottoms are lightly golden and tops are pale.
  4. Roll warm cookies in the reserved powdered sugar, cool completely, then roll again for the final coat.

Notes

If your kitchen is warm, chill the shaped dough balls for 30 minutes before baking to help them hold their shape. This step is optional but helpful.
