Here's a delicious cookie recipe to add to the others. This recipe originally came from a friend's daughter. They absolutely melt in your mouth!<BR/><BR/>Pecan Puffs<BR/><BR/>1/2 c. butter, softened, plus extra to grease a baking sheet<BR/>2 Tablespoons sugar<BR/>1 1/4 c. pecans<BR/>1 1/4 c. all purpose flour<BR/>A few drops of vanilla<BR/>Powdered sugar for dusting<BR/><BR/>Preheat oven to 300 degrees, and grease a cookie sheet with butter. Beat the 1/2 cup butter in a bowl until soft, then beat in the sugar until creamy. chop the nuts VERY fine (or grind them in a coffee grinder or food processor). The nuts should resemble fine bread crumbs. Stir the nuts in to the butter mixture. Sift in the flour and add vanilla extract. Mix until mixture makes a soft dough. Roll the dough into balls about the size of walnuts and place on cookie sheet. Bake for about 25 minutes at 300 degrees. Sift powdered sugar over the puffs and put back into over for 2 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29559473.post-1164215066767447192006-11-22T12:04:00.000-05:002006-11-22T12:04:00.000-05:00How fun. Good luck ladies.How fun.
