A good friend of mine in Houston gave me this recipe. I have two very large Pecan trees in my backyard, I keep this recipe handy.

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 - eggs
4 cup(s) sifted plain flour
1 1/2 teaspoon(s) soda
1/2 pound(s) butter melted
1 pound(s) brown sugar
3/4 cup(s) sugar
1/4 cup(s) crisco shortening
3 cup(s) pecans finely chopped
1 tablespoon(s) vanilla

Steps:

  • Cream sugars, butter and Crisco together. Add eggs and beat. Mix in other ingredients. Add pecans and stir. Roll into logs on floured cutting board.
  • Mixture makes 5 logs about 1 1/2 inch diameter. Refrigerate overnight in covered plastic container or plastic wrap. I always bake a few dozen and freeze the rest. Just roll into a log, freeze and slice as needed.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes. It does not take long for them to cook and brown.
  • Note: For Christmas you can add Red or Green sugar sprinkles to top before baking.
