INGREDIENTS

• 1 cup (2 sticks) butter
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1/8 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 2 cups flour
• 2 cups ground pecans
• Powdered sugar

DIRECTIONS

• Preheat oven to 375°F. Cream butter, sugar, and brown sugar together until fluffy. Add vanilla and mix well.
• Incorporate flour and pecans into mixture. (Batter will seem separated and crumbly. This is perfect.) Form into small balls and place on ungreased cookie sheet.
• Bake for 10-13 minutes, or until lightly browned.
• Let cool and roll in powdered sugar just before serving. (If you don't let them cool, the powdered sugar will melt and a mess - just a heads up.)
