I got this recipe from the United Way, JC Penny Cookbook 1996. They are always a big hit at Christmas time. Baking time is per sheet - so multiply that by how many cookie sheets you need to use.
Ingredients:
1 cup butter or 1 cup margarine
1/2 cup sifted powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup pecans, finely chopped
powdered sugar
Directions:
1. Cream butter, the 1/2 cup powdered sugar and vanilla.
2. Combine flour and pecans.
3. Stir into butter mixture.
4. Shape dough into 1 inch balls. place on ungreased baking sheet.
5. Bake in 325 degree oven for 20 to 25 minutes until lightly browned.
6. Roll warm cookies in powdered sugar; cool on wire rack.
7. Roll again in powdered sugar.
8. Sprinkle with additional chopped pecans if desired.
