Once I was in Aunt Ruth's kitchen and she was trying to get me to eat something. I wasn't hungry, but she kept offering - can I make a sandwich? want some soup? etc. She couldn't help herself. So I teased her and she laughed. And then, without even realizing it, she asked, Do you want a cookie? Aunt Ruth's cookies are legendary. I said yes. Beware - this recipe makes a lot of cookies (number depends on how big you form them). You will eat a lot of them. Ingredients:
1 lb butter |
3/4 cup sugar |
1 1/2 cups pecans, chopped fine |
4 1/2 cups flour |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
Directions:
1. Cream butter and sugar.
2. Add vanilla and nuts.
3. Add flour, 1 cup at a time.
4. Shape into little thin rolls - cut in to little fingers .
5. Bake at 300 degrees for 10-12 minutes until bottoms start to barely brown.
6. Let set on baking sheet for five minutes.
7. When cool, roll in powdered sugar.
