Pecan Sandies

Pecan Sandies

These are much like what is often sold as Mexican Wedding Cookies.  These are a shortbread cookie that are stuffed with pecans and then dusted with powdered sugar.  It isn’t the holidays at my house without these cookies.

1 C. butter
1/2 C. sugar
2 tsp. water
2 tsp. vanilla
2 C. flour
1 C. chopped pecans

Cream butter and sugar; add 2 tsp. water and vanilla; mix well. Blend in flour and nuts; chill 4 hours. Shape in balls or fingers. Bake on an ungreased cookie sheet at 325 degrees for about 20 minutes. Remove from pan’ cool slightly; roll in confectioners sugar.
