Mexican Wedding Cakes

When I was a child my aunt would make these cookies every year at Christmas time. For me this recipe brings back memories of Christmas past.

Ingredients:

1 cup margarine
1/2 cup powered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups flour
1/2 cup pecans, finely chopped
Powdered sugar

Directions:

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

Cream margarine, the 1/2 cup powdered sugar and vanilla in medium bowl. Combine flour and pecans in a separate bowl. Stir into mixture in medium bowl. Shape dough into 1 inch balls and place on ungreased baking sheet.

Bake in 325 degree oven for 20 to 25 minutes until lightly browned.

Roll warm cookies in powdered sugar; cool on wire rack. Roll again in powdered sugar.
