Step-by-Step Instructions for Gluten Free Snowball Cookies
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a stand mixer, cream together room temperature butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
  3. Add vanilla extract, gluten-free flour, and kosher salt to the creamed mixture. Mix on low until soft dough forms.
  4. Gently fold in chopped pecans until evenly distributed.
  5. Use a rounded tablespoon to scoop the dough and roll into balls. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for about 12 minutes until edges are slightly golden.
  7. Let cookies cool on the sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  8. While warm, roll cookies in powdered sugar until fully coated. Allow to cool completely and roll again in sugar for the perfect finish.
