This recipe has been in my family for years. Since I was a kid it's been a tradition with my mom, grandmother, sister and I getting together and baking these cookies every Christmas season. It's a cherished memory that I'll never forget and I'll definitely pass the tradition to my children one day.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar (sifted)
- 1 cup of butter at room temp. (2 sticks)
- 2 tsp vanilla flavor
- 2 cups of regular flour (sifted)
- 1/4 tsp of salt
- 2 cups of finely chopped pecans
Mix steps 1-5 together then add the pecans and mix it into a thick dough {you may have to use your hands for mixing the dough together}, roll into small quarter size balls, put them on several greased cookie sheets. Bake at 350 degrees 12-15 minutes until golden brown. When they cool after a few minutes, roll them each in a bowl of powdered sugar and store them in a tin or air tight container. Enjoy!
I normally double this recipe, they last several weeks and are great for party's.
Thanks for stopping by!
