Categories     Desserts     Cookies

Time 45m

Yield 30

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup butter
½ cup confectioners' sugar
¼ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
1 cup chopped pecans
⅓ cup confectioners' sugar for dusting, or as needed
¼ cup finely crushed peppermint candy canes

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Cream the butter with 1/2 cup of the confectioners' sugar and the vanilla. Mix in the flour, pecans, and salt. Roll about 1 tablespoon or so of dough into balls and place on an ungreased cookie sheet.
  • Bake in preheated oven until bottoms are golden, about 15 minutes. Do not allow these cookies to get too brown: it's better to undercook them than to overcook them. While cookies are still hot, roll them in confectioners' sugar. Once they have cooled, roll them in confectioners' sugar once more.

GRANDMA'S PECAN BALLS (FROM AUNT KATIE)



Grandma's Pecan Balls (From Aunt Katie) image

I always thought the origin of these cookies was Germany, and my paternal Grandmother set me straight when I asked for the recipe today - it came from Aunt Katie (who isn't really my Aunt, she's my godmother). In any case, here are my most favourite cookies that Grandma makes - I'll have to post the rest of the authentic German recipes she gave me years ago as well... she's been making these since I was kneehigh to a grasshopper!

Time 40m

Yield 30 Cookies, 30 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cup flour, all purpose
1 cup ground pecans
1/2 cup butter, unsalted
1 tablespoon sugar
superfine sugar, for rolling (aka fruit sugar) or icing sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350.
  • Cream butter with sugar.
  • Add flour and pecans, mix well.
  • Roll into balls, about the size of a large gumball, and place on a cookie sheet (I prefer to line mine with parchment, but I'm sure cooking spray would do.).
  • Bake at 350 for 20 minutes, or until very lightly browned.
  • While still warm, roll in superfine sugar - this is important because the dough does not have much sugar.
