List of Ingredients




1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon water
1 teaspoon vanilla
2-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup chopped pecans
1 cup sifted powdered sugar or granulated sugar
1 cup butter


Recipe



1. Beat butter in a mixing bowl with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Add the 1/3 cup granulated sugar, the water, and vanilla and beat until combined. Beat in as much flour as you can. Stir in remaining flour and pecans.
2. Shape into 1-inch balls or 2x1/2-inch crescents. Place on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake in a 325 degree F oven about 20 minutes or until bottoms are lightly browned. Cool cookies on a wire rack. Gently shake cooled cookies in a bag containing the powdered sugar.
3. Or, before baking, roll balls in granulated sugar and flatten by crisscrossing with a fork. Bake as directed. Do not roll in powdered sugar. Makes about 36 cookies.
