½ cup powdered sugar, sifted
2 tsp vanilla extract
½ tsp salt
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups pecan halves, toasted and roughly chopped

For rolling

¼ cup powdered sugar, for rolling

Instructions

1
Spread the pecan halves on a dry baking sheet and toast in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 7–9 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until fragrant and a shade darker. Transfer to a cutting board, let cool for 5 minutes, then roughly chop into pieces about the size of a pea.
