Total Time:25 minutes
Yield:72
Ingredients
1 stick of butter, room temperature, but not too soft
2/3 cup confectioners sugar
2/3 cup flour
3/4 cup of finely chopped pecans
1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Using a hand mixer, cream together the butter and confectioners sugar until smooth.
In a separate bowl, stir together the flour, chopped peans, and salt.
Add the dry ingredients to the creamed butter and mix just until combined.
On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, scoop out 1 teaspoon balls of dough. For uniform cookies, gently and quickly roll each mound of dough into a ball.
Bake 13-18 minutes, or until cookies are fragrant, barely set, and browning on the bottom. Allow to cool to room temperature on a cooling rack.
Notes
These cookies are mini! So while one batch makes 72, trust me- you’ll be glad you have extras.
