Preheat it to 350 degrees.<br \/>Step 2: Cream the butter and powdered sugar in a stand mixer. Adjust the mixer speed to low, then add in the salt, vanilla, flour, and pecans.<br \/>Step 3: Into an inch ball, roll the batter and place the balls a few inches apart from each other on parchment-covered baking sheets. Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 11 minutes, making sure to keep an eye on the cookies to not over bake them.<br \/>Step 4: Take the cookies out of the oven when done and let them cool a little. Meanwhile, place a cup of powdered sugar in a large Ziploc bag or a wide bowl. Gently coat about 3 to 4 cookies at a time. Scoop the cookies using a fork, shaking gently to remove any excess powdered sugar. On cooling racks, transfer the cookies and let them cool completely before rolling each again in the powdered sugar<\/p>\n<p><!-- WP QUADS Content Ad Plugin v. 2.0.66.2 --><\/p>\n<div id=\"quads-ad2241\" class=\"quads-location quads-ad2241 \" style=\"float: none; text-align: center; padding: 0px 0 0px 0;\">\n<div class=\"quads-ad-label quads-ad-label-new\">Advertisement<\/div>\n<p><!-- WP QUADS - Quick AdSense Reloaded v.2.0.66.2 Content AdSense async --><\/p>\n<p><script><br \/>\n                 <\/script><br \/><!-- end WP QUADS --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"swp-content-locator\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Advertisement These Buttery Pecan Snowball Cookies are easy, quick to fix, delicious, and they freeze well.
