Ingredients
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup of unsalted and room temperature butter
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • ¼ tsp coconut extract (optional)
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1½ cup of pecans, finely chopped
  • ¼-1/2 cup flaked, unsweetened coconut
  • 1-2 cups powdered sugar for coating
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 F
  2. In a large bowl, beat the sugar and butter together until well blended, then mix in the two extracts and salt.
  3. Dump the flour into the bowl and stir the mixture with a spatula or wooden spoon until the mixture wet and dry just start to blend together. At this point, dump in the nuts and coconut flakes and combine until evenly incorporated into the mixture.
  4. Portion out the cookie dough into balls that are roughly 1 tbsp in size. Place them on a parchment-lined cookie sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until they are lightly browned.
  5. Once the cookies come out of the oven, let them cool for a few minutes, then dredge them in a bowl of powdered sugar and set them on a cooling rack to cool completely.
  6. Once cooled, roll them again in powdered sugar to get a pretty snowball effect :)
