Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 325°F. Place pecans and 1/2 cup sugar in a food processor; process until pecans are finely ground. Transfer to a large bowl.

Stir flour and remaining sugar into pecan mixture; cut in butter until crumbly. Transfer mixture to a clean work surface; knead gently to form a smooth dough, about 2 minutes. (Mixture will be very crumbly at first, but will come together and form a dough as it's kneaded.) Divide dough in half.

On a lightly floured surface, roll each portion of dough to 1/4-in. thickness. Cut with a floured 3-inch cookie cutter. Place 1 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets.

Bake 10-12 minutes or until edges begin to brown. Cool on pans 5 minutes. Meanwhile, in a shallow bowl, mix vanilla sugar ingredients until blended.

Dip warm cookies in vanilla sugar to coat; cool completely on wire racks. Store in airtight containers.
