Here in Utah the Fall weather reminds me of what Christmas weather in California is like, and once the fall chill in the air hits, I start wanting to watch holiday movies, and bake holiday treats. Jeremy named these cookies snowglobes, obviously because they are round and look like snow, but the name has stuck and so that is what our family likes to call them.
- 1 cup pecans, toasted and cooled
- 1 3/4 cups confectioners sugar
- 2 sticks (1 cup) cold unsalted butter, cut in small pieces
- 2 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
Heat oven to 325 F. Pulse pecans with 3/4 cup of the sugar, in a food processor until finely ground (do not over process); pour into a mixing bowl. Add butter, vanilla, and salt to the pecan, sugar mixture; mix well, scraping bowl often, to blend. Add flour; mix just until dough forms a ball. Use a teaspoon to scoop the dough then shape into small balls. Place 1 inch apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake 20 minutes or until tops are dry and bottoms are light brown. Cool cookies on sheet for 10 minutes. Gently roll warm cookies in remaining confectioners sugar to coat. Cool, then roll in sugar again.
