Ingredients

  • 1 c. butter, softened
  • 1/3 c. granulated sugar
  • 1 Tbsp. water
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • 2 1/4 c. all-purpose flour
  • 1 c. chopped pecans
  • 1 c. sifted powdered sugar
  • green, pink and purple edible cake sparkles or colored sugar

Method

  • In a large mixing bowl, beat butter with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Add the granulated sugar; beat until combined, scraping sides of bowl occasionally. Beat in water and vanilla until combined. Beat in as much of the flour as you can with the mixer. Using a wooden spoon, stir in any remaining flour and the chopped pecans. Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Place 1-inch apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake in a 325° oven 20 minutes or until bottoms are light brown. Transfer cookies to a wire rack; cool completely.
