1 cup butter
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 cups flour
2 tablespoons water
2 cups pecans, chopped
1/2 cup sugar
powdered sugar, for rolling
Directions
1 Cream butter and sugar, add remaining ingredients, except for powdered sugar.
2 Roll into balls, small, about a"quarter" in diameter.
3 Bake for 5 minutes on 275F, then 20 minutes at 350F degrees.
4 Roll in powdered sugar while still hot, we usually do 2-3 coatings of sugar.
Makes: 6 Dozen
Editor's Note: They ARE really good. I chill them for just a few minutes to make sure they don't spread --SOFTEN the butter--don't melt it, that's why they spread !! Also, if you don't have 2 full cups of nuts they will still taste great. This last batch I made had only 1 cup and I couldn't tell the difference. Lastly, mine crumble if I try to roll while hot, they really need to cool, so I sift the powdered sugar on while they sit on the cookie sheet. Less or more of that is another thing that doesn't seem to ruin them or make them better, just prettier.... GREAT RECIPE! A keeper!!!
