Number Of Ingredients 7

2 c all purpose flour
4 Tbsp granulated sugar
1 tsp salt
2 stick butter or margarine, melted
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 3/4 c chopped pecans
1/2 to 2/3 c powdered sugar

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 250. Melt butter or margarine. Line cookie sheet with foil and spray with Pam.
  • 2. Mix all ingredients together. Form into desired shape (ie; balls, fingers or crescents). Place onto cookie sheet and bake at 250 for 45 to 60 minutes. Roll in powdered sugar while cookies are still warm.
  • 3. Note: I have actually used self-rising flour and omitted the salt and they worked fine.
