I love the Christmas holiday season! My mom and Sister In Law and niece always have a baking day thru the holidays and I decided to join them this year! We baked all day since we did several types of cookies and made enough to split between us, which is 4 families! My favorite is the Thumbprint or the No Bake, it's a toss up!
1 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
2-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup chopped pecans
Additional confectioners' sugar
In a large bowl, cream the butter, confectioners' sugar and vanilla until light and fluffy. Combine flour and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well. Stir in pecans. Refrigerate until chilled.
Roll into 1-in. balls and place on ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 350° for 10-12 minutes or until set. Roll warm cookies in additional confectioners' sugar; cool completely on wire racks.
Roll cooled cookies again in confectioners' sugar.
Yield: 4 dozen.
