These are easy and taste amazing!!
Ingredients:
1/2 lb butter, at room temperature
2 cups powdered sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 cups flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup chopped pecans (about 4oz.) *I used walnuts
1. In a large bowl, with a mixer on medium speed, beat 1 cup butter, 1/2 cup powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth
2. In a medium bowl, mix flour and baking powder
3. Add to butter mixture, stir to mix, then beat until well blended.
4. Stir in pecans (walnuts)
5. Shape dough into 1-inch balls and place about 1 inch apart on buttered 12- by 15- inch baking sheets
6. Bake at 300˚, regular or convection oven, until cookies are pale golden brown, about 25 minutes
7. If baking two sheets at once in one oven, switch their positions halfway through baking
8. Let cookies stand on sheets until cool enough to handle
9. Roll warm cookies in powdered sugar to coat all over; discard remaining sugar
10. Set cookies on racks to cool completely
* They seem to cool fast so be prepared to roll in sugar shortly after taking out of oven. I put them in a ziplock baggie and tossed them. Be careful because they are very delicate!
* I doubled the recipe and would probably make 2 batches next year. (So, quadruple this recipe!)
* They don't have to be an inch apart, they rise a tiny bit... give them a little room.
