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.
