This butter cookie is a holiday tradition spanning generations in my family. It is simply not Christmas without them.
Ingredients:
1/2 lb butter
3 cups flour
1 3/4 cups pecans, chopped
3 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
powdered sugar
Directions:
1. Preheat Oven to 325°.
2. Cream together butter and sugar.
3. Add flour gradually.
4. Add pecans and vanilla.
5. Dough will be very dry but will form a ball as your hand warms the butter while forming small crescents or football shapes.
6. Place on ungreased cookie sheets.
7. Bake about 30 minutes or until golden brown.
8. When cool, roll in powdered sugar.
