Recipe



Instructions


In food processor, process pecans with 1/4 cup powdered sugar, until very fine. Mix in flour, cocoa and salt; set aside.

In large mixing bowl, cream butter with 3/4 cup of powdered sugar; blend until light and fluffy. Beat in vanilla until well blended. Add flour mixture, slowly, until well mixed. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Form dough into 1-inch balls and place on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake until golden, 18 to 20 minutes.

Mix together remaining 1/2 cup powdered sugar and cinnamon. When cookies have cooled slightly, roll in cinnamon mixture. Finish cooling on wire racks.

Makes 36 cookies.
