Finally, a wedding cookie that you don't have to crash a wedding to get your hands on. I have fond memories of going to weddings and constantly going back to the snack table to pinch more and more of these delicious, little powdered sugar coated morsels. Sadly, I didn't have these at my wedding but now I get to savor the finished product. And since the husband and I are still eating our 4 cheese 5 layer lasagne I decided we needed something sweet. So, without further ado my No Crash Wedding Cookies!
You will need:
2 1/4 cups All purpose flour
1 cup softened butter (not melted)
1 tsp vanilla extract
3/4 cups of pecans finely chopped
1 cup confectioners sugar (divided)
Materials you will need:
1 Tablespoon
1 Large bowl
1 Small bowl
2 Hands
Plastic wrap
In a large bowl combine the flour, butter, extract, nuts and 1/2 a cup of the confectioners sugar. Knead until all the ingredients are well incorporated and forms a ball. The bowl shouldn't have any remnants on the bottom and the ball should not be crumbly. Wrap the dough ball in cling wrap and refrigerate for one hour. Don't be afraid to get your hands dirty! This is an excellent cookie to get the kids involved in and give them a hands on cookie experience.
Using a tablespoon, spoon off level tablespoons and form into balls. Place one inch apart on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake for 10 minutes until balls are slightly golden but not brown.
Take them off the cookie sheet and place on a rack until they are completely cool. In a small bowl roll the cookies in the remaining 1/2 cup of confectioners sugar. Keep in a covered and dry place and enjoy!
Happy Eating!
