Steps:
- Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter and sugar until smooth. Beat in the water and vanilla.
- Stir in the flour and pecans until well blended.
- Cover the dough with plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for at least four hours.
- Preheat the oven to 325 °F.
- Shape the dough into walnut sized balls or crescents. (Crescent shaped are more the traditional Mexican wedding form of these cookies.)
- Place the dough balls or crescents 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets.
- Bake for 18 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven, until golden.
- Cool on a baking rack, then roll in the confectioners sugar. I don't roll them when they are warm as they still will soak up the powdered sugar while cool and this way they don't get sticky.
