Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a baking mat.
Using a hand mixer, beat coconut oil and vanilla until nice and fluffy.
In a food processor, blend walnuts and pecans until fine. Add flour, powdered sugar, and salt and pulse 1-2 times until blended.
Add dry ingredients to wet and blend until combined. The dough will be crumbly yet you should be able to form the balls with your hands. If too dry, add 1/2-1 teaspoon of water or dairy-free milk.
Using a cookie scoop, form round balls and place on the baking sheet.
Bake for 7-10 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
Roll cooled cookies in powdered sugar. Can roll them a second time if desired.

Notes
Can substitute pecans or walnuts for all of one variety so you don't have to get two types of nuts.
Try toasting nuts before processing in the food processor to take these cookies to the next level!
