This butter cookie is a holiday tradition spanning generations in my family. It is simply not Christmas without them.

36 cookies (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1/2 lb butter
3 cups flour
1 3/4 cups pecans, chopped
3 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
powdered sugar

Directions

1
Preheat Oven to 325°.
2
Cream together butter and sugar.
3
Add flour gradually.
4
Add pecans and vanilla.
5
Dough will be very dry but will form a ball as your hand warms the butter while forming small crescents or "football" shapes.
6
Place on ungreased cookie sheets.
7
Bake about 30 minutes or until golden brown.
8
When cool, roll in powdered sugar.

This is a great recipe. These cookies were quick and easy to make. They taste incredible. Like shortbread studded with pecans than rolled in powdered sugar. Yummy! Thank you for sharing this recipe, I will be using it in my christmas tray this year.
