This recipe is from The Silver Palate Cookbook by Julee Rosso and Sheila Lukins. These are incredible...have eaten these at Julee Rosso's wonderful Wickwood Inn B&B in Saugatuk, MI, where the food alone is worth a stay in the charming inn. These are always on our cookie tray at the holidays. Ingredients:
8 tablespoons sweet butter, softened |
3 tablespoons honey |
1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 tablespoon vanilla extract |
1 cup shelled pecans, chopped moderately fine |
3/4 cup confectioners' sugar |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Grease one or two cookie sheets.
2. Cream butter. Beat in honey; gradually mix in flour and salt, then vanilla. Add pecans. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and chill for 1 hour.
3. Form balls by hand, the size of quarters. Place 2 inches apart on the prepared cookie sheets. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes.
4. Remove from oven; as soon as cool enough to touch, roll in confectioner's sugar. Allow to cool and roll again in sugar.
