  • 1 cup (2 sticks, 8-ounces, 227 grams) unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1/3 cup (1.33-ounces, 38 grams) confectioners' sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 Tablespoon water
  • 2 cups (10-ounces, 283 grams) all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups (6-ounces, 170 grams) chopped pecans, toasted (See Tip 1)
  • Additional confectioners' sugar for dusting, about 2 cups

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350° F.
  • In a large bowl, beat butter, confectioners' sugar, vanilla extract and water until fluffy, about a minute. 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 baking 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. (See Tip 2)
  • Store in an airtight container. (See Tip 3)
  • Yield: 13 to 14 dozen.
