pecan puffs

They are a perfect combination of buttery goodness with pecans, shaped into small balls.  Bake them at a low temperature and then roll in confectioner’s sugar.  They have a buttery texture filled with pecans that is not too sweet.  The baked puffs are covered with confectioner’s sugar making a wonderful indulgence for your taste buds in a tiny package.  Pecan puffs are also called Mexican wedding cookies, Russian tea cakes, snowball cookies and our favorite Christmas cookie!

all-purpose flour

Preheat oven to 300°F (yes, 300°).

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

Stir the pecans and the flour into butter mixture.

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.

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

Cool slightly so you don&#39;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.

Remove cookies to a cooling rack to cool completely.

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