POWDERED-SUGAR PECAN COOKIES

Steps:

• Put the pecans in a food processor and pulse until coarsely ground. Add the butter and pulse until combined. Mix in the sugar and vanilla. Add the flour and salt and pulse just to combine. Press the dough into a ball and wrap in plastic. Refrigerate just until firm or make up to 2 days ahead, but let stand at room temperature until pliable but still cold.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Using about 1 tablespoon of dough for each cookie, roll the dough into balls with your hands. Flatten with the palm of your hand to make mounds 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake until browned on the bottom, about 12 minutes. Let cool completely. Sift the confectioners' sugar over the cookies.

PASTISSETS (POWDERED SUGAR COOKIES FROM SPAIN)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• In a large bowl, with a wooden spoon, beat together the lard and butter.
• Incorporate the sugar, egg yolk and lemon peel into the lard/butter mixture.
• In a separate bowl, combine the cinnamon and flour; work into the lard mixture with your hands to form a smooth dough.
• On a floured surface, roll the dough 1/4 inch thick and cut with a 3-inch scalloped cookie cutter (or other shape).
• Arrange cookies on a greased or parchment lined cookie sheet and bake for about 10 minutes, or until golden.
• Allow to cool briefly on the cookie sheet as they are delicate when warm.
• When cool, coat with confectioner's sugar.

PECAN BALL COOKIES W/POWDERED SUGAR

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 300 Place Pecans in blender or grinder and chop fine.
• 2. Cream butter & granulated sugar. To this add flour, nuts, vanilla.
• 3. Shape into (a little smaller) than gold ball size balls. Place on un-greased cookie sheet. Bake slowly for 40 minutes. Remove from oven and cool for 30 minutes.
• 4. Roll all in powdered sugar.

POWDERED PB COOKIES; LOW FAT & SUGAR WITH BANANA

Steps:

• 1. In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, peanut powder, soda, and salt. Set aside.
• 2. In a large bowl beat together the bananas and sugar.
• 3. Add in egg and vanilla. Beat until well blended. It's ok if there's s few small chunks of bananas that haven't blended in.
• 4. Gradually STIR in the flour mixture. I split it into thirds to be sure it all got mixed in.
• 5. Optional: refrigerate for about an hour. I found the dough much easier to work with this way and the cookies were a bit more moist. I did also make some without refrigerating first and they still came out delicious!
• 6. When ready to bake: preheat oven to 350. Cover cookie sheet with parchment paper.
• 7. Drop dough by rounded teaspoons onto the cookie sheet
• 8. Now to make the classic peanut butter cookie checker marks! Lightly spray the top of each cookie with cooking spray. Grab a fork and spray it too. Then you'll press the fork down onto the cookie and then pick up the fork and rotate it to cross the first lines and press down. Voila! Checkers! **This dough is very sticky so you may have to spray the fork a few times.**
• 9. Bake at 350 for 6-8 minutes. If you are topping with Hershey's kisses, now is a good time to unwrap them (no one will see if one accidentally jumps into your mouth).
• 10. Once the cookies come out of the oven, immediately move them from the cookie sheet to paper towels. Once you have them all on the paper towels (do that as quickly as possible!) place a Hershey's kiss in the middle and gently push down.
• 11. This is important! The Hershey's kisses will *almost* melt at first. So don't touch them! They will hold and keep their shape as long as they don't get touched. Once the cookies have completely cooled and the chocolate has solidified you are safe to move the cookies to a container....or your mouth
