Pecan Puffs

-LW

Joy of Cooking describes these cookies in three words: "Rich and devastating." There's really not much more to be said. Mom likes me to make these for her. They are easy and addictive.

Ingredients
1/2 c. butter

2. T. sugar

1 t. vanilla

1 c. pecans, ground in food processor

1 c. flour, sifted before measuring

Powdered sugar, for rolling

Directions
Preheat oven to 300.

Beat butter until soft. Add sugar and blend until creamy. Add vanilla. Add pecans. Beat or stir flour into pecan mixture.

Roll dough into small balls and place on greased cookie sheet. Bake at 300 for 30 min. While still hot, roll in powdered sugar. Much of it should melt, forming a glaze on the cookies.
