Categories     Cookies

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 c powdered sugar
2 c flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cream of tartar
1 c chopped nutmeats
1 c butter, room temperature
1 egg
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla extract

Steps:

  • 1. Mix like pie crust; add egg, salt, vanilla.
  • 2. Stir nutmeats into dough or top each with a half of a pecan.
  • 3. Roll into walnut-size balls. Flatten very slightly.
  • 4. Bake at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes. Cool. Roll in powdered sugar. Store in airtight container.

Tips:

  • Choose the right butter. Use unsalted butter so you can control the amount of salt in the cookies. Cold butter also works better than softened butter, as it will hold its shape better in the dough.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the dough, making the cookies light and airy.
  • Gradually add the eggs, one at a time. This will help to prevent the dough from curdling.
  • Mix in the dry ingredients until just combined. Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies to hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the cookies at 375°F for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are just beginning to brown. Do not overbake the cookies, or they will become dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool on a wire rack before serving. This will help to prevent them from breaking.

Conclusion:

Butter ball cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a batch of these cookies that are sure to be a hit with family and friends. So next time you're looking for a sweet snack, give butter ball cookies a try!
