Cocoons Cookie Recipes

COCOONS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 275.
• Cream the butter and sugar until smooth.
• Add vanilla, combine.
• Add the flour, combine.
• Mix in the pecans.
• Scoop out 1 tablespoon of dough, I use a cookie/ice cream scoop, shape into into a cocoon- about 2" by 1/2".
• Place the cookies on cookies sheet, you can put them fairly close together as they do not rise or spread very much.I always use parchment paper on my cookies sheets.
• Bake about 45 minutes, you don't really want them to be brown.
• While the cookies are baking, prepare the powdered sugar. Place some in a large bowl or container, then as you take the cookies out of the oven, layer them with powdered sugar in the bowl I just leave them in the powdered sugar until they cool.
• Dig them out and tap the sugar off- this is messy but fun- I like a thick layer of sugar on mine and sifting the sugar over the cookies doesn't get them like I want.
• The ones you don't eat right away keep well in an airtight container.
