Ingredients in Snowball Cookies

Butter – there is no other salt in this recipe so make sure to use salted butter.
Confectioner’s sugar – otherwise know as powdered sugar, sweetens the cookies and adds a crumbly texture.
Vanilla extract – use the good stuff! Real Vanilla Extract has the very best flavor.
All-purpose flour – I’ve only used white all-purpose flour for this recipe.
Minced pecans– this adds texture and flavor to these simple butter cookies.
