INGREDIENTS

MAKES
2 dozen cookies
1 cup butter room temperature
1/4 cup powdered sugar ; sifted
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 tablespoon water
2 cups all purpose flour
1 cup chopped pecans
dash of salt
sifted powdered sugar ; about 2 cups
sparkly white decorating glitter ; two bottles

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

In a mixing bowl, cream the butter with the powdered sugar until fluffy. Add the vanilla and water and beat until incorporated. It helps to use an electric mixer as the water will resist the oiliness of the butter and refuse to mix in at first. If you do have to mix by hand, then just be patient and carefully mix and mash the mixture. Or try using a fork. Add the flour, pecans, and salt and mix until just incorporated.

Roll into marble-sized balls and place on a parchment-lined cookie sheet. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until the cookies are set and the bottoms have browned slightly. Meanwhile, mix the powdered sugar and one bottle of decorating sugar together in a shallow bowl or plate. Empty the second bottle of decorating sugar on another plate.

When the cookies are done, remove them from the oven and let them sit until they have cooled. Roll in the powdered sugar mixture until coated and then roll in the decorating sugar until sparkly. Store in an airtight container. Happy Holidays!
