Pecan Puffs
Â
Ingredients
Â
2 cups pecans
½ pound butter, soft
4 tbsp granulated white sugar
2 cups flour
2 tsp vanilla
2 cups confectioners’ sugar
Â
Instructions
Â
1 Put pecans in a food processor to break into small pieces.
2 Add the rest of the ingredients, minus confectioners’ sugar, and mix until blended.
3. Put the dough in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and place in the fridge to chill for 1-2 hours.
4. The dough should be stiff. Roll into small balls (small than a walnut) and place on parchment paper and cookie sheet.
5. Bake at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes. Bottoms should turn light brown.
6. Take puffs off of the cookie sheets as soon as you can touch them and roll in confectioners’ sugar until covered.
7. Place on a cloth-covered surface to cool and enjoy.
