Pecan Puffs Cookies

Step 1

Preheat oven to 300°F (yes, 300°).

Step 2

In medium bowl, cream together butter and granulated sugar until well blended.

Step 3

Stir the pecans and the flour into butter mixture.

Step 4

Roll the dough into small balls (I like to use a small scoop to help make them uniform). Place balls on non-stick baking sheet or baking sheet lined with a silicone baking mat.

Step 5

Bake for 30 minutes (yes, 30 minutes) until set and lightly browned.

Step 6

Cool slightly so you don't burn yourself, about 2 minutes. Roll warm cookies in powdered sugar. To glaze, put the baking sheet back into the oven for one minute.

Step 7

Remove cookies to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Step 8

Serve or store at room temperature in an airtight container for up to a week or up to three months in the freezer.
