Ingredients

  • Preparation:
  • 1 cup pecan halves, toasted
  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar, sifted
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
  • Powdered sugar
  • ●Pulse pecans in a food processor until they are coarse like sand.
  • ●Beat butter and 3/4 cup powdered sugar at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy. Stir in vanilla and ground pecans. Gradually add flour, beating until a soft dough forms. Beat at low speed just until combined. Cover and chill 1 hour.
  • ●Divide dough into 5 portions; divide each portion into 12 pieces. Roll dough pieces into 2-inch logs, curving ends to form crescents. Place on ungreased baking sheets.
  • ●Bake at 350° for 10 to 12 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool 5 minutes. Roll warm cookies in powdered sugar. Cool completely on wire racks.
