I cooked these in Israel last August for a party at a wedding. They disappered in minutes. A couple of weeks after I left they were written up in a local paper. I guess that makes me an Internationally acclaimed chef! or at least the cookies.

- ½ LB. BUTTER
- 6 TABLESPOONS POWERED SUGAR
- 2 CUPS FLOUR
- PINCH OF SALT
- 2 TEASPOONS REAL VANILLA
- 2 TEASPOONS OF WATER
- 2 CUPS CHOPPED PECANS
Directions
- Melt butter in the microwave like in the picture. Most of the cube melted.
- Sprinkly salt over the butter, stir, then add the vanilla and water and stir well.
- Add powdered sugar, mix well.
- Add flour, mix well.
- Add nuts and mix well. I usually have to use my hands to really mix this last part.
- Pinch a small amount and make a ball about an inch round at most 3/4 inch is better. The smaller size is better as you want these to just pop the whole thing, one bite. Otherwise, the powdered sugar falls on your shirt or blouse. If you want to make the real pecan cookie you need to shape the ball by rolling in you palms sideways to look like a pecan cookie. This is the prettiest design by the messiest to eat. 3/4 inch is best.
- If your making hundreds, the small ball works as it is a single bite. Load up the cookie sheet. I keep a wet cloth to keep my fingers and palms wet or wipe off dough as it easier to roll the dough.
- Bake in oven at 350 degrees for 17 minutes. Remove and insert new sheet of cookies. Have a bowl of powdered sugar ready. Carefully pick and roll each cookie in sugar and place on a plate/platter. You want to roll them while they are hot.

Thanks to all for the compliments. They are easy to make and I make them every year for Xmas. The platters empty each day. I had a young girl, Mariam, about 8, in Israel help me make them for the party, she had so much fun helping. A great cookie for kids to learn to make, some balls were not exactly round but who cared, she was having so much fun helping. Peace and happy trails to all. JJ
