An X-mas favorite from my childhood
Ingredients:
- ½ cup soft butter
- ¼ tsp. salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup flour
- 1 cup toasted pecans
- 2 tbsps. sugar
Toast pecans in 325-degree oven for 7 minutes. Cool. Chop in food processor. Set aside.
Mix: butter and sugar for 10 minutes until color darkens and texture changes (you’ll know it when you see it)
Add: pecans and flour, mix until even, about 30 seconds
Preheat oven to 350-degrees
Roll dough into 1 to 1.25-inch balls and place on greased cookie sheet.
Cook 15 minutes, reduce temperature to 300-degrees cook another 7 minutes until cookies are lightly browned.
Remove and roll in confectioners’ sugar and place on cooling rack.
Enjoy!
