Recipe: Georgia O’Keeffe’s CopyCat Pecan Butterballs
Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups finely chopped pecans
1 cup softened butter
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup honey
3 teaspoons vanilla extract
Powdered sugar, for dusting
Instructions:
Preheat Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 300°F (150°C), setting the stage for slow-baked perfection.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt, setting the foundation for your cookie dough.
Cream Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, cream the softened butter with honey and vanilla extract until the mixture is well-combined and creamy.
Combine: Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until a cohesive dough forms.
Add Pecans: Fold in the finely chopped pecans, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Shape Cookies: Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and arrange them on an ungreased baking sheet, allowing room for slight expansion.
Bake: Place the cookies in the preheated oven and bake for about 40 minutes, or until they’re set and take on a lightly golden hue.
