Italian Cookies

1. 1

   Let the butter soften to room temperature.

2. 2

   Mix these three ingredients well.

3. 3

   With a teaspoon, form a small amount into balls.

4. 4

   Place the balls into the refrigerator to chill overnight.

5. 5

   The next day, roll the balls out on a floured surface.

6. 6

   Sprinkle approximately a teaspoon of chopped pecans and then a teaspoon of sugar into the middle of the rolled out dough.

7. 7

   Wrap the dough around the sugar and pecans pressing to seal it together.

8. 8

   Form into a crescent shape.

9. 9

   I then freeze these cookies with layers of wax paper in between them so they do not stick together.

10. 10

    When I want some, I take out only the number that I want to bake, usually 2 4 dozen at a time, and bake at 350 degrees until nicely browned (about 10-12 minutes, oven temperatures vary and it will take longer on air bake trays).

11. 11

    Serve warm!

12. 12

    That is when they are the best.
