Equipment Needed:

Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • ¼ cup confectioners sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 Tablespoon water
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup very finely chopped pecans see note below
  • confectioners sugar to cover completed cookies
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees.  In a large bowl, cream the butter and confectioners sugar.  Add in the vanilla extract and water. Mix in the flour and salt, blend well. Add in the finely ground pecans. 
  • Form the dough into 2-inch crescents and bake on an ungreased cookie sheet for 20 minutes.  Cookies should be lightly brown when complete.  Remove from oven and let cool about 5 minutes. Place cookies on the cooling wrap completely cool.
  • Roll cookies in confectioners sugar. Keep cookies in a covered container. 

Notes

  • Be sure to finely ground the pecans in the food processor. You do not want large chunks of pecans in your cookies.
