My mom used to make these when I was a kid. I make them now at Christmas time. They melt in your mouth. I usually make a double or triple batch. These are heavenly and bring back wonderful memories! Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter |
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar |
1 cup sifted flour |
1 cup finely chopped roasted pecan |
Directions:
1. Cream butter and 3 tablespoons confectiner's sugar until fluffy in a medium-size bowl.
2. Stir in flour gradually, then pecans until well blended.
3. Chill several hours or until firm enough to handle.
4. Roll dough, a teaspoonful at a time, into marble sized balls between palms of hands.
5. Place two inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets.
6. Bake in a slow (325 degrees) oven 20 minutes, or until lightly golden.
7. Cool on cookie sheets 2 - 3 minutes, remove carefully.
8. Put remaining confectioner's sugar in a bowl and carefully roll still warm cookies to make a generous white coating.
9. Cool completely.
10. Store with waxed paper or transparent wrap between layers in container with tip fitting cover.
