PECAN BALLS

Pecan Balls Recipe @ http://treatntrick.blogspot.com


Pecan Balls Recipe @ http://treatntrick.blogspot.com


These buttery  melt in the the mouth cookies are so scrumptious and not too sweet. At times other nuts such as almond, walnut and the like are added to the dough.

It takes a bit of your time for rolling this treat. I had rolled them into tiny balls. They are often served during Christmas, wedding or festive celebrations.

If you have a time,  dry roast or bake the pecan before grinding. This step is not neccesary but that really enhance the flavor of these balls.

PECAN BALLS
Yield    :    30-40 balls

2 C  all purpose flour
1 C  softened butter
1/2 C  fine sugar
1/2 C  toasted pecan, ground
1/2 tsp  vanilla extract
powdered  sugar for coating

Pecan Balls Recipe  @ http://treatntrick.blogspot.com

METHOD

Cream butter, sugar and vanilla.

Stir in flour and  ground pecan, mix well to form into soft dough. Preheat oven @ 160 C.

Roll dough into 1 inch ball and place into baking sheet.

Bake for 20 minutes until set but not brown.  Remove and cool on wire rack.

While still warm, roll the balls with powdered  sugar until well coated.

When completely cool, store in an airtight container.

Lovely recipe. Did you see my cinnamon balls? They ate similar but I love the idea of using ground pecans. That's lovely! Oh by the way there's a small typo above. You say roll into 1 ball. A bit confusing. Xx

Oh yum! I love pecans, but my little one is highly allergic to them so I never have them in the house. But I do love pecan anything!
