Time 1h10m

Yield 40 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 sticks (1 cup) salted butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Zest of 1 orange
2 cups all-purpose flour
Pinch of kosher salt
2/3 cup finely chopped pecans
1/2 cup powdered sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat together the butter and granulated sugar until fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Beat in the vanilla and orange zest until fully combined.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Add the flour mixture gradually to the mixer until just incorporated. Fold in the chopped pecans by hand.
  • Using a tablespoon-sized cookie scoop, portion the dough onto a baking sheet. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.
  • Divide the chilled dough between 2 baking sheets, leaving about 1/2 inch between each cookie. Bake until just golden, about 12 minutes. Allow to cool completely.
  • Once the cookies have cooled, place the powdered sugar into a shallow dish. Roll each cookie in the powdered sugar until completely coated. Enjoy!
