Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 300F
  2. Cream first three ingredients together. Grind pecans, I use a hand grinder. If you don't have one use a rolling pin and heavy plastic wrap placed on a solid surface place pecans on plastic and cover with another layer of wrap and pound until they are about the size of couscous or pearl barley . Add the pecans with 1 cup plus 2 tbsp. sifted flour. *Note the dough will be stiff. Roll in small balls with your hands. This takes a bit of work but well worth it. Practice makes perfect.:-)
  3. Bake on an ungreased cookie sheet for 45 minutes
  4. * Do Not let them brown just a pale yellow shade with a tad of brownness on the bottom.
  5. Remove from oven. Take care when removing them off the cookie sheet. I use a small spatula or thin spoon. I find the easiest method for this is to use a clean brown paper bag cut out as paper on the counter or parchment paper to place them on. Then clean up is a breeze. Roll in icing sugar once while hot and again while cool. These make wonderful gifts if placed in a tin and layered with waxed paper. These are shortbread's and will get better with age and can be kept for months if stored in a sealed container. You will always get the tin back for more.:-)
