<\/a> <\/p>\nPecan Butter Cookies<\/h2>\n
1\/2 cup butter, softened
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla
1 cup pecans, chopped
1 cup flour
1 cup powdered sugar (10x or icing sugar)<\/p>\n
Mix the butter, sugar and vanilla together. Add the pecans, and mix well. Add the flour and mix. Don’t over mix the flour – mix just until it comes together.<\/p>\n
Roll dough into small balls – about the size of a large marble, or about 3\/4 of an inch big. Place on an ungreased cookie sheet lined with parchment. You can place these closer together than normal cookies — instead of 3 across on a cookie sheet, you can do 5 -6.<\/p>\n
Bake at 300F for 30 minutes.<\/p>\n
Allow the cookies to rest a few minutes, and then remove them from the parchment. Allow to cool completely.<\/p>\n
Once these are completely cooled, roll in powdered sugar. <\/p>\n
This makes about 40 or so cookies, if you keep them about 3\/4 of an inch big. <\/p>\n
You can also roll these while they are still hot in the powdered sugar, and then return them to the oven for about a minute to glaze. Allow them to cool and serve.<\/p>\n
These keep a few days in a covered container. They never actually last that long, though ;)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
