Description

Pecan cookies that go perfectly with a glass of cold milk!

Ingredients

  • ½ cups Butter, Softened
  • 4 ounces, weight Cream Cheese, Softened
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1-¾ cup All-purpose Flour
  • 1 Tablespoon Sugar
  • 1 dash Salt
  • 1 cup Finely Chopped Pecans
  • 1 cup Confectioners Sugar

Preparation

In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and cream cheese until light and fluffy. Beat in vanilla. Combine the flour, sugar and salt; gradually add to the creamed mixture. Stir in pecans (dough will be crumbly). Roll into small balls. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 375 degrees F for 12-14 minutes or until lightly browned. Carefully roll warm cookies in confectioner’s sugar; cool on wire racks or a plate. When cool, roll once more in confectioner’s sugar.

I make a cookie similar to this, only with another stick of butter instead of the cream cheese. These were really good – not sure which version I like better! I did add 1/2 cup of powdered sugar in place of the 1 Tablespoon granulated sugar and the cookies were still not too sweet.
