Butter Pecan Balls, A Melt-in-Your-Mouth Cookie
Author: Merry Citarella
Recipe type: Baking
Serves: 16 - 24 cookies
- ¼ pound or 1 stick butter or margarine, softened
- 2 tablespoons white sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup flour
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 cup pecans, finely chopped
- ⅓ cup powdered / confectioner's sugar, or more, as needed for rolling
- Combine all ingredients and mix well. The dough will seem pretty dry. Add a few drops of water if they won't hold together as you roll them.
- Roll into little balls, squeezing tightly as you do, and place on greased cookie sheet.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes.
- Gently roll in powdered sugar as soon as you pull them out of oven.
- Then about ten minutes later, roll in powdered sugar once more or sprinkle through a sifter.
- Sample at least one, but don't eat them all!
