Ingredients

• 4 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 cups very soft butter
• 3.5 cups chopped pecans
• 0.25 cup confectioners' sugar
• 1 cup confectioners' sugar for rolling

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Step 2

Bake in the preheated oven until the bottoms of the cookies are lightly golden brown but the tops are still pale, 8 to 12 minutes.

Step 3

Mash together the flour, butter, pecans, and 1/4 cup of confectioners' sugar in a bowl until the mixture is thoroughly combined and forms a soft dough. Pinch off about 2 teaspoons of dough per cookie, and roll into 3/4-inch balls. Place the balls on ungreased cookie sheets.

Step 4

Let the cookies cool completely, then roll in remaining confectioners' sugar.
