My number one is:

Pecan Ball Cookies

These are the most luscious cookie balls I've ever had. They beat any Mexican Wedding cookie I've had and that's saying something! (they were always a family favorite---Grandma, Dad---and me---times 55 plus years!)

Butter, 3 sticks (1-1/2 cups or ¾ of a pound)

Sugar, granulated, 1/3 cup

Salt, 1 teaspoon

Flour, 3 cups

Pecan Meal (finely ground pecans), 12-14 ounces

Vanilla, 2 tablespoons

Mix and shape into balls, approximately one inch in size. Bake about 20 minutes in 350-degree oven on ungreased cookie sheet until edge or bottom are beginning to just take on a bit of color. While still somewhat warm, roll in powdered sugar.
Makes 5 or five dozen.

Nah, I was just kidding, I love to make cookies.
My favorite are oatmeal raisin but only if I make them with golden raisins.

I've already posted my favorite cookie recipes in that section. They're the quick and easy cake mix cookies.

Ever tried thumbprint cookies made with icecream? Just use, , 4 cups flour , 1 lb butter , 1 pint vanilla icecream. Mix all together ,(might have to use hands). Roll into small balls place
on ungreased cookiepans. Put thumbprint in, and fill with favorite preserves. Bake 8 -10 or 12 min. Till lightly brown on bottom. Cool slightly then put on cooling racks and dust with powdered sugar.
