• 2 sticks unsalted butter
• 2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
• 1 cup finely chopped pecans
• 6 rounded tablespoons powdered sugar, plus 2/3 cup more for rolling
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 to 3 teaspoons water
  
  

Preheat your oven to 350° and line two rimmed baking sheets with a silpat or parchment paper.

 

In a large bowl, add all the ingredients. Mix on medium-low until combined. Dough should be a little crumbly.

 

Form dough into little balls (the width being no larger than a nickel) and place on prepared pan, 1-inch apart.

 

Slide the pan onto the middle rack of your oven and bake for 12-14 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through.

 

Allow the cookies to cool for 3 to 4 minutes on the pan before rolling a few at a time in powdered sugar.
