Provided by Grammie926

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/2 pound butter
4 tablespoon sugar
2 cup ground pecans
2 cup flour
1 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  • Cream sugar and butter, then add other ingredients. Make into small balls and bake at 375°F 10 to 12 minutes or until lightly browned. Shake in powdered sugar just before serving. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use fresh pecans. Fresh pecans will have a sweeter, more nutty flavor than older pecans. If you can't find fresh pecans, you can use frozen or vacuum-sealed pecans.
  • Toast the pecans before using them. Toasting the pecans will bring out their flavor and make them more fragrant.
  • Use a food processor to chop the pecans. A food processor will give you a more evenly chopped mixture than chopping the pecans by hand.
  • Chill the dough before forming the balls. Chilling the dough will make it easier to handle and will help the balls hold their shape.
  • Roll the balls in powdered sugar before serving. Rolling the balls in powdered sugar will give them a sweet, festive coating.

Conclusion:

Christmas pecan balls are a delicious and easy-to-make holiday treat. They're perfect for gift-giving or serving at parties. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a sweet and nutty treat that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for a festive holiday treat, give Christmas pecan balls a try.
