Mexican Wedding Cakes - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/2 lb. butter (2 sticks)
6 Tbsp. powdered sugar
2 c. flour
1 c. finely chopped pecans

Preparation

Mix butter and sugar by hand (please wash them first!).
Have the flour measured; add it, a bit at a time.
Also add the nuts, alternating flour and nuts until done.
If the dough is very sticky, add a little more flour.
Wipe your hands off, then put a little flour on your hands as needed while you roll balls of dough (about the size of a walnut and 1-inch in diameter).
Place on a greased cookie sheet.
Bake in a 350\u00b0 oven for 20 to 25 minutes (until lightly browned).
Cool completely, then shake them in a Baggie of powdered sugar.
Recipe can be doubled for holiday baking.
