Recipe Introduction
My mom made these cookies all the time! They are excellent; keep well and disappear fast! JOAN
List of Ingredients
3/4 cup sifted confectioners' sugar
1 cup butter, softened
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup chopped pecans
2 1/2 cups sifted all-purpose flourRecipe
Cream together confectioner' s sugar and butter. Add vanilla and pecans. Knead in flour by hand until completely mixed. This is important to NOT mix this with an electric mixer. Chill dough for about an hour. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease cookie sheets. Pinch off pieces of dough, roll into 1" balls, (I flatten them slightly). Place 2" apart on cookie sheets. Bake for about 15 minutes. When baked, dip or roll in confectioner' s sugar. Store airtight in layers with waxed paper in between.
Note: These are fantastic right out of the oven. I don't roll all of the cookies in powdered sugar, I
leave them plain, they taste good that way, too.
