Ingredients:

- 1 cup of unsalted butter, softened

- 1/2 cup of powdered sugar

- 1 tsp of vanilla extract

- 2 cups of all-purpose flour

- 1/2 tsp of salt

- 3/4 cup of chopped pecans

- Additional powdered sugar for dusting

Now that we have all our ingredients, let's get started on making these delicious sandies! In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the vanilla extract and mix well. In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour and salt. Slowly add the dry ingredients into the butter mixture and mix until a dough forms. Don't overmix as this will result in tough cookies. Next, fold in the chopped pecans into the dough. This will add a nice crunch and nutty flavor to the sandies. Roll the dough into small balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Use a fork to flatten the balls slightly and create a criss-cross pattern on top. This will also help the cookies bake evenly. Bake the sandies in a preheated oven at 350°F for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Let them cool for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, dust the cookies with some extra powdered sugar for a beautiful snowy effect. These holiday sandies are perfect for gifting or serving at your next holiday party. They are also great for making ahead of time as they can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week. So go ahead and give this recipe a try and spread some holiday cheer with these delicious sandies!
