A friend asked about an eggless sugar cookie and, though this is not a sugar cookie, it came to mind. The kids love these!
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup ground pecans (not too fine)
2 Tbsp sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup cake flour
powdered sugar for coating
Mix butter, sugar and vanilla. Add flour, then pecans. Chill dough at least an hour. Half an hour before baking, preheat oven to 300. Roll dough into 3/4" or 1" balls. Bake at 300 for 40 minutes. While hot from the oven, roll in powdered sugar. Cool completely, then roll in powdered sugar again. Store at room temp, but also freezes well. (1 recipe never makes enough, if you know what I mean... :o)
