One of our family favorite cookies for the holidays- these are sooo melt-in-your-mouth delicious! These cookies go by many different names. If you desire, you may sub walnuts or hazelnuts for the pecans. I hope you enjoy!!! Ingredients:
1 cup butter |
4 tablespoons powdered sugar (heaping) |
2 tablespoons vanilla |
2 cups all-purpose flour |
2 cups pecans, ground (or very finely chopped) |
powdered sugar, for rolling cookies in |
Directions:
1. Cream butter, add sugar and remaining ingredients.
2. Roll into small balls, and place on cookie sheet.
3. Bake in 325 F oven for 30 minutes.
4. Roll balls into powdered sugar when hot, and again when cool.
5. Note: These cookies taste best when thoroughly cooled (ie best served the next day-if you can wait!).
