The most favorite Christmas cookie going back to my mother-in-law who used to make these every Christmas for her kids. They are still my husband's favorite Christmas cookie.
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 cups flour
1 cup finely chopped pecans
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup powdered sugar
Heat oven to 325 degrees.
In a large bowl beat 1/2 cup powdered sugar, the butter and vanilla with electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy. On low speed, beat in flour, pecans and salt until dough forms.
Shape dough into 1 inch balls. On ungreased cookie sheets, place balls 1 inch apart.
Bake 13 - 17 or until set but now brown. I bake them for 15 minutes. Immediately remove from cookie sheets to cooling racks. Cool slightly, about 10 minutes.
Place 3/4 cup powdered sugar in a small bowl. Roll cookies in powdered sugar. Cool completely, about 15 minutes. Roll in powdered sugar again. Place cookies in an airtight container.
Makes about 50.
