Pecan Cookies!!!

I can completly understand why who ever named this named it sandie!!!! It  dose not have the texture of sand but it almost looks like sand. Look at the picture don't you see it? I have never been the biggest fan of nuts. I never put nuts in my chocolate chip cookies or banana bread. Put the cookie is floury and the nuts give a great texture!!!!!!!I will say, these aren't my favorite cookies, y'all know my I am chocolate all the way. But these are soft and simple!!!! It rocks the house!!! These cookies actually came from England I'm pretty sure and they were eaten with honey and mint tea! So I don,t drink tea but these are great with hot chocolate!!!!!!! But its warm now so just eat them and you will be happy!!!!!!!!!! My dad bought this HUGE bag of pecans for me so I have been making a lot of things with pecans. I made a pecan crumble for my pork chops!!!!!! I will be posting pecan pie later!!!!! Well, I should probably get going. I have so many recipes aI want to put on today!!!!!

Ingredients-

1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup finely chopped pecans

Directions-

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
grease 2 baking sheets. In the bowl of a mixer, combine the butter and vanilla. Add 1/2 cup of the sugar, then slowly add the flour and pecans and mix just until combined. Use your hands to roll the dough into balls about r, and arrange them on the baking sheets. Bake 15 to 20 minutes, until golden brown. While cookies are baking , spread the remaining confectioners' sugar out on a plate. When the cookies are done, remove from the oven, let cool 3 to 5 minutes, and then roll each cookie in the sugar until coated, letting each rest in the sugar for a minute to absorb it
