Recipe Introduction


Difficulty: Easy
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 40 minutes
Yield: 2 1/2 dozen cookies


List of Ingredients




1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar, plus more for coating baked cookies
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting hands
1 cup pecans, chopped into very small pieces

Recipe



Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F. Line cookies sheets with parchment paper.

Using an electric mixer, cream the butter and sugar at low speed until it is smooth.

Beat in the vanilla. At low speed gradually add the flour.

Mix in the pecans with a spatula. With floured hands, take out about 1 tablespoon of dough and shape into a crescent.

Continue to dust hands with flour as you make more cookies.

Place onto prepared cookie sheets. Bake for 40 minutes.

When cool enough to handle but still warm, roll in additional confectioners' sugar. Cool on wire racks.
