Prep Time: Cook Time: Total Time:
About 1 cup (1/2 lb.) butter, at room temperature
2 cups powdered sugar
2 tsp vanilla
2 cups flour
1/4 tsp baking powder
1 cup chopped pecans (about 4 oz.)
In a large bowl, beat 1 cup butter, 1/2 cup powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
In a medium bowl, mix flour and baking powder. Add to butter mixture, stir to mix, then beat until well blended. Stir in pecans. Shape dough into 1-inch balls and place about 1 inch apart on buttered 12- by 15-inch baking sheets. Bake at 300 until cookies are pale golden brown, about 25 minutes. If baking two sheets at once in one oven, switch their positions halfway through baking. Let cookies stand on sheets until cool enough to handle.
Place remaining 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar in a shallow bowl. Roll warm cookies in powdered sugar to coat all over; discard remaining sugar. Set cookies on racks to cool completely.
