Ingredients
- 1 cup vegan butter softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup pecans finely chopped
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened vegan butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy. You can use an electric mixer or mix by hand with a wooden spoon.
- Stir in the vanilla extract until well combined. Gradually add the flour to the butter mixture, mixing well after each addition. The dough should come together and be slightly crumbly. Fold in the finely chopped pecans or walnuts until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Take about a tablespoonful of dough and roll it into a small ball between your palms. Place the ball onto the prepared baking sheet. Repeat this process with the remaining dough, spacing the balls about 1 inch apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cookies are set and slightly golden on the bottom. Be careful not to overbake.Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes until they are firm enough to handle.
- While the cookies are still warm, roll them in powdered sugar until fully coated. Place the coated cookies on a wire rack to cool completely. Once the cookies have cooled, give them another gentle roll in powdered sugar to ensure they are fully coated. Enjoy!
