Although these homemade pecan sandie cookies are delicious any time of year, they are particularly perfect for Christmas cookie swaps. Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour (about 9 ounces) |
1/4 cup finely chopped pecans |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
3/4 cup granulated sugar |
9 tablespoons butter, softened |
2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
cooking spray |
1/4 cup powdered sugar |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°.
2. Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flour, pecans, and salt, stirring well with a whisk.
3. Place granulated sugar and butter in a medium bowl; beat with a mixer at medium speed until fluffy (about 2 minutes). Beat in vanilla extract. Beating at low speed, gradually add flour mixture, and beat just until combined (mixture will be crumbly).
4. Shape dough into 34 (1-inch) balls (about 1 tablespoon each). Place dough balls 2 inches apart on baking sheets coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350° for 20 minutes or until lightly browned.
5. While cookies are still hot, sift powdered sugar evenly over tops. Remove from pan; cool completely on wire racks.
