Time 45m

Yield about 4 dozen.

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups pecan halves (8 ounces)
1 cup sugar, divided
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup cold butter, cubed
VANILLA SUGAR:
2/3 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325°. Place pecans and 1/2 cup sugar in a food processor; process until pecans are finely ground. Transfer to a large bowl., Stir flour and remaining sugar into pecan mixture; cut in butter until crumbly. Transfer mixture to a clean work surface; knead gently to form a smooth dough, about 2 minutes. (Mixture will be very crumbly at first, but will come together and form a dough as it's kneaded.) Divide dough in half., On a lightly floured surface, roll each portion of dough to 1/4-in. thickness. Cut with a floured 3-in. cookie cutter. Place 1 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets., Bake 10-12 minutes or until edges begin to brown. Cool on pans 5 minutes. Meanwhile, in a shallow bowl, mix vanilla sugar ingredients until blended., Dip warm cookies in vanilla sugar to coat; cool completely on wire racks. Store in airtight containers.
