Snowball Cookies

1/2 cup plant-based butter
3/4 cup powdered sugar , divided
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour * I haven’t tried with gf flour but a 1:1 should work
1/2 tsp cardamom * optional or you can swap with allspice
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup chopped pecans
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with silicone mats (optional) and set them aside.
Using an electric mixture, whisk together the butter and powdered sugar. Add in the vanilla and whisk once more.
Next, add in the remaining ingredients and whisk until just combined. You may need to scrape down the sides once or twice.
Scoop tablespoon mounds of the dough, and using your hands (lightly wet them with water or oil to prevent sticking), roll the tablespoon of dough into a ball. Place the dough on your prepared baking sheet and repeat until there is no dough left. You should get 12-14 cookies.
Bake the cookies for 18-20 minutes until they slightly golden. Let the cookies cool on their baking sheets for 5-10 minutes until you can safely touch them. Once they’ve cooled slightly but are still warm, lightly toss the cookies in the remaining powdered sugar. Enjoy!
