Pecan Rounds Recipe
- 1 cup butter (no substitutes), softened
- 1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar, divided
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup finely ground pecans, toasted
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- In a mixing bowl, cream the butter and 1/2 cup sugar. Beat in vanilla. Combine flour, pecans and salt; gradually add to the creamed mixture. Shape into two 8-in. rolls; wrap each in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 2 hours or until firm. Unwrap and cut into 1/4-in. slices. Place 1-1/2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 375 degrees F for 8-10 minutes or until edges are lightly browned.
