When I was growing up, I loved to help my mom cut out the appealing dessert recipes from newspapers and magazines. Then we would paste them all into a big book. This recipe is one of our favorites from the collection. Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter, softened |
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar |
1/2 teaspoon orange extract |
1 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
2 tablespoons baking cocoa |
1/2 cup finely chopped pecans |
additional confectioners' sugar |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, beat butter, 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar and extract until blended. In another bowl, whisk flour and cocoa; gradually beat into butter mixture. Stir in pecans.
2. Shape dough into 1-in. balls; place 1 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake 12-14 minutes or until set. Cool on pans 1-2 minutes. Roll warm cookies in confectioner's sugar. Cool on wire racks. If desired, reroll cookies in confectioner's sugar after cooling. Yield: about 2 dozen.
