GRANDMA'S PECAN BALLS (FROM AUNT KATIE)



Grandma's Pecan Balls (From Aunt Katie) image

I always thought the origin of these cookies was Germany, and my paternal Grandmother set me straight when I asked for the recipe today - it came from Aunt Katie (who isn't really my Aunt, she's my godmother). In any case, here are my most favourite cookies that Grandma makes - I'll have to post the rest of the authentic German recipes she gave me years ago as well... she's been making these since I was kneehigh to a grasshopper!

Time 40m

Yield 30 Cookies, 30 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cup flour, all purpose
1 cup ground pecans
1/2 cup butter, unsalted
1 tablespoon sugar
superfine sugar, for rolling (aka fruit sugar) or icing sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350.
  • Cream butter with sugar.
  • Add flour and pecans, mix well.
  • Roll into balls, about the size of a large gumball, and place on a cookie sheet (I prefer to line mine with parchment, but I'm sure cooking spray would do.).
  • Bake at 350 for 20 minutes, or until very lightly browned.
  • While still warm, roll in superfine sugar - this is important because the dough does not have much sugar.

GRANDMA'S PECAN COOKIES



Grandma's Pecan Cookies image

I have fond memories of helping my grandmother make these delicious cookies. It was a family favorite and she brought it to gatherings often. She gave me the recipe in 1967 when I was getting married. Over the years it "disappeared". Imagine my excitement when I found it recently. This is a crispy cooke that is not too sweet. I hope this will be a memory for my grandchildren.
