Um Safia

RECIPE BY: Um Safia

I love these gorgeous little balls! The use of nuts & icing sugar reminds me of Algerian style cookies - my husband loves them as they are so similar. If you give them a few coats of confectioners sugar youwill get a beautiful finish. This recipe was originally from McCormicks.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups flour
  • 2 cups finely chopped pecan

    • To Finish

    Directions

    1. 1
      Preheat oven to 350°F Beat butter in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy. Add the confectioners sugar, vanilla, nutmeg and salt; beat until well blended. Stir in flour and pecans.
    2. 2
      Shape into 1-inch balls. Place 1 inch apart on ungreased baking sheets.
    3. 3
      Bake 15 minutes. Remove from baking sheets. Immediately roll hot cookies in the confectioners sugar. Place sugared cookies on wire racks to cool.
    4. 4
      When cool, roll again in sugar at least once but I like to do it twice for a better finish.
