Time 45m

Yield 30

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1 cup butter
½ cup confectioners' sugar
¼ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
1 cup chopped pecans
⅓ cup confectioners' sugar for dusting, or as needed
¼ cup finely crushed peppermint candy canes

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Cream the butter with 1/2 cup of the confectioners' sugar and the vanilla. Mix in the flour, pecans, and salt. Roll about 1 tablespoon or so of dough into balls and place on an ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake in preheated oven until bottoms are golden, about 15 minutes. Do not allow these cookies to get too brown: it's better to undercook them than to overcook them. While cookies are still hot, roll them in confectioners' sugar. Once they have cooled, roll them in confectioners' sugar once more.

BUTTER PECAN COOKIES

Butter Pecan Cookies image

When my daughter was a teen, these butter pecan cookies earned her two blue ribbons from two county fairs. Then a few years ago, her own daughter took home a blue ribbon for the same cookie. Needless to say, these mouthwatering morsels are real winners!-Martha Thefield, Cedartown, Georgia
