- 1/2 cup powdered sugar, plus extra for coating
- 2 cups all-purpose flour

- Add the vanilla extract and mix until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, ground pecans or almonds, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms. You can use your hands to knead the dough gently if needed.
- Shape the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on an ungreased baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Allow the cookies to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once the cookies are completely cooled, roll them in powdered sugar to coat them generously.
- Store the Pan de Polvo in an airtight container at room temperature. They can be stored for several days.
