My mother in law use to make my favorite cookies for me every Christmas. I carry on the tradition. Here is her recipe. Couldn't be simpler, but oh so good!
Cream 1/2 lb unsalted butter with 4 T sugar
Add 2 cups lightly toasted ground pecans
Sift 2 cups flour wiht 1 t salt and add to butter/sugar/nut mixture
Roll into small balls and bake @ 300 degrees for about 20 minutes
Cool on a rack
Shake gently in a bag with confectioners sugar while still warm and again after they have cooled completely.
Gobble 'em up! Merry Christmas!
