Sunset Christmas Treasury


List of Ingredients




1 1/4 cups (5/8 lb) butter or margarine, at room temperature
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg yolk
2 teaspoons brandy flavoring
3 cups all purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup finely chopped pecans or walnuts
Powdered sugar

Recipe



In a large bowl of an electric mixer, beat butter and granulated sugar until creamy; beat in egg yolk and brandy flavoring. In another bowl stir together flour and salt; gradually add to butter mixture, blending thoroughly. Stir in pecans until well combined.

Roll dough into 1 inch balls and place about *1 inch apart on lightly greased baking sheets. Bake in a 350 degree oven until firm to the touch and very light golden (about 25 minutes). Transfer to racks and let cool slightly; while still warm, roll in powdered sugar to coat. Let cool completely. Store airtight. Makes about 4 dozen.

* Note: roll the balls smaller then 1 inch. I think they are easier to eat that way.
