Ingredients
½ cup Domino powdered sugar, divided
1 stick Kerrygold unsalted butter
1 cup Gold Medal all-purpose flour
⅛ tsp salt
¼ cup finely crushed Kirkland pecans
¼ tsp McCormick pure vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 325F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
Cream together the butter and ¼ cup of the powdered sugar until creamy, about 3 minutes.
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, pecans, and salt. Turn off mixer and add in the flour mixture as well as the extract. Mix on medium-low until everything is incorporated. Dough will look dry and rollable.
Scoop out tablespoon-sized dough balls. Roll into a ball and place on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 12-13 minutes. Remove before any browning occurs.
The cookies will be slightly firm to touch, hardening once they cool. Allow to cool for about 10 minutes.
In a small bowl, add the remaining ¼ cup powdered sugar. Roll the top of each cookie in the powdered sugar. It will melt a bit onto the cookie. Place on a serving platter or in an airtight container.

Quick Tip: Kerrygold is the best butter to use in this. But if making with American butter, allow to come to room temperature first and cook for an additional 2-4 minutes. The edge of the cookie should just start to feel crisp to the touch with some visible cracks when ready. The bottoms of the cookies will also look as if they are just starting to golden.
