Equipment

Ingredients

1/2 Cup Butter 1 stick at room temperature
1 1/4 Cup Powdered Sugar 1/4 cup for cookie batter, 1 cup for coating
1 tsp Water
1 tsp Vanilla extract
1 Cup Flour
3/4 Cup Pecans toasted and crushed

Instructions

Preheat oven to 325. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and toast the pecan halves for 5 minutes or until they become fragrant and toasted.
Remove pecans from oven and then pour them into a food processor and pulsate until they are a fine and no big chunks remain.
In the bowl of a stand mixer cream the butter and powdered sugar, then scrape down the sides of the bowl and add the water and vanilla, mix again.
Add the crushed pecans and four to the bowl of the stand mixer and slowly mix together. The dough will be crumbly, just take pieces of dough and form into balls with your hands and then place on a lined baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes - or until bottom edges start to brown. Remove from oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes, then drop them gently in a little bowl with powdered sugar and coat them. Place them back on a lined baking sheet and allow to cool, then enjoy!
