  • Preheat oven to 275 degrees. In a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed cream together butter and sugar until smooth. Beat in vanilla. Gradually add flour and mix just until blended. Stir in pecans.
  • With floured hands roll dough into 1 inch sized balls, continue to dust your hands with more flour as you make more balls. Place balls 1 inch apart onto ungreased baking sheets.
  • Bake for 30 to 35 minutes. When cool enough to handle, but still warm roll cookies in additional powdered sugar. Place cookies onto cooling racks to cool completely.

  1. This recipe is excellent. I put a thumb print in the centre and added a cherry to each cookie. Very tasty.

I don't really like to cook that much, but I love to bake. My favorite thing to do is bake yummy homemade cupcakes, brownies, cookies, and more. I enjoy eating bake goods as much as making them! I have a sweet Miniature Schnazer named Oliver that we adopted from the animal shelter. I like to collect old cookbooks, the oldest one I have is from 1913. My favorite magazines are Bon Appitite and Martha Stewart's Every Day Food. I just became a Certified Nursing Assistant. Around my house i'm known as the pissed off baker because when I bake you better stay out of the kitchen!!!
