How To8 Steps
Step 1
In small heavy sauce pan, melt butter. Cook until brown in color. Pour into a small dish, cover, and place in the fridge. Chill until butter is firm.
Step 2
With mixer, cream butter with 1/2 cup powder sugar and vanilla, until light and fluffy.
Step 3
Gradually add flour in small amounts until well blended.
Step 4
With wooden spoon mix in pecans.
Step 5
Place dough in the fridge and chill for several hours. This allows the dough to form better.
Step 6
Shape 1 inch balls, using your hands to roll them out. If dough becomes too warm, place back in fridge. Place each shaped ball onto baking sheets.
Step 7
Bake for 20 minutes at 350. Be sure to turn to prevent browning too much on one side, and becoming flat.
Step 8
Dust with powder sugar while still warm.
