PECAN BALLS


About 6 dozen

These tender little balls melt in your mouth. They are sometimes known as Mexican Wedding Cakes or Russian Tea Cakes

1 cup butter or hard margarine, softened
1/2 cup Icing (confectioners’) sugar
2-1/4 cups flour
1 cup ground pecans
2 tsp. vanilla
1/2 cup Icing (confectioners’) sugar

In bowl, combine first 5 ingredients; mix first with spoon then by hand to work it until it holds together.
Shape into 1” balls; arrange on ungreased baking sheets.
Bake in 325ºF oven 20-25 mins.
As soon as balls have colled enough to handle, roll them in icing sugar.
