Pecan Sandies - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 c. butter, softened
1/3 c. sugar
2 tsp. vanilla
2 tsp. water
2 c. all-purpose flour
pecans to taste (I use 2 c., chopped)

Preparation

Cream butter and sugar; add vanilla and water and mix well. Blend in flour and pecans.
Shape in balls or finger size bars. Bake on ungreased cookie sheet at 325\u00b0 for about 20 minutes.
I turn up the heat for a few minutes to brown them.
Cool slightly and roll in powdered sugar.
A good way to do this is to put the sandies in brown paper bag and add the powdered sugar and shake well.
