I came across this recipe last week when I was searching for something to bake, it had to be easy to do with a few ingredients and preferably tasty. It scored high on all three!!! When I had made them I text Lee and described them. Sweet buttery melt in the mouth morsels...rotten little things!!! Very very moreish!!
Makes about 2 dozen puffs
4oz Shelled pecans
4oz butter softened
2oz caster sugar
1tsp vanilla extract
4oz plain flour
1oz icing sugar sifted, plus extra for dusting
Preheat the oven to 150C
Grind the pecans in a food processor until quite fine.
Cream the butter in a large bowl or electric mixer until soft. Add the caster sugar and vanilla and beat until light and fluffy. Add the pecans and the flour and bring together to form a dough.
Using your hands roll the dough into small marble sized balls then flatten slightly using the palm of your hand and place on a baking tray.
Bake fo 40 minutes or until they are very pale golden and slightly firm around the edges. Sift the icing sugar in to a shallow bowl. Allow the cookies to cool for aout 2 mins and while they are still hot roll them in the sifted icing sugar.
Leave to cool fully on a wire rack and dust generously with more icing sugar.
