Great Grandma Verona Herman’s Pecan Balls

This recipe was given to me by my mother.  Verona is her Great Grandmother, making her my Great Great.  These pecan balls are absolutely delicious.  They have a nutty, buttery, rich flavor, and not too sweet, until you roll them not once, but twice in powdered sugar.  They’ve always been a family favorite, and adds a bit of variety and texture to your impressive Christmas Cookie assortment.  I really must insist you give them a try.

PECAN BALLS

1/2 lb butter, 4 T sugar, 2 tsp vanilla, 2 C flour, 2 C chopped pecans.

Mix together in Mixmaster.  Form into balls, about the size of a ping pong ball.  Place on cookie sheet and bake at 370 degrees (yes I said 370).  Bake for 10 minutes.  While hot, roll in powdered sugar.  Then do it again when they’re cool.
