- Reviews 2
Ready In: 1 hr
Serves: 30
Ingredients
- 1⁄2 cup sweet unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup sifted cake flour
- 1 large egg
- 1⁄8 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup ground pecans
- 2 -3 cups powdered sugar, more as needed
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 F.
- Cream butter until smooth and creamy, using an electric mixer.
- Using a wooden spoon, stir in cake flour,vanilla, egg,& salt until mixed well (using an electric at this point could make the dough too tough).
- Stir in the ground nuts.
- Shape into 30 small balls and bake on parchment lined baking sheets at 350 F for 10 minutes (they will appear to be sitting in puddles of melted butter as they bake - this is normal), then rotate your trays in the oven and continue baking another 5-10 minutes, or until they just start to turn golden.
- Roll in powdered sugar while hot.
- Let cool.
- When cool, roll again in more powdered sugar to coat.
- Store in wax paper lined cookie tins.
