Ingredients

The following ingredients have 162 Servings
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1/3 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 Tablespoon water
  • 2 cups 10 ounces all purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups chopped pecans (toasted)
  • Additional confectioners' sugar for dusting (about 2 cups)

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350° F.
  • In a large bowl, beat butter until creamy. Add ⅓ cup confectioners sugar and beat until fluffy. Add vanilla extract and water; blend well. Add flour and stir until well blended. Stir in pecans.
  • Form into small balls (no larger than the diameter of a penny - the smaller the balls, the better the cookies). Place on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 25 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Remove from the oven and immediately roll in confectioners' sugar. When all cookies have been rolled in confectioners' sugar, roll the cookies again in confectioners 'sugar.
  • Store in an airtight container (I use a ziploc bag).
  • Yield: 13 to 14 dozen.
