I remember making these cookies when I was little for Christmas. I've made them almost every year, but this year I'm "veganising" them. It's really not hard. You just use vegan butter and make sure your powdered sugar is vegan. These are easy to make and are great to bring to any Christmas party, or keep all for yourself. I've also heard them called, Mexican Wedding Cookies.
Ingredients:
1 cup vegan butter (Earth Balance)
2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
1/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 cup water
1 cup chopped pecans. (I used lightly sweetened, but you can use plain)
1 cup sifted powdered sugar
What to do:
Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
In a medium mixing bowl, beat butter. Add 1/2 the flour and sugar.
Add vanilla and water.
Mix well and then add the rest of the flour and sugar.
Stir in pecans.
Shape into 1 inch balls and place on an un-greased cookie sheet. (During baking, they won't expand or lose shape, so it's okay if they're close together.)
Bake for 20 minutes, check bottom of cookies to see if it's golden brown.
Cool the cookies.
Pour powdered sugar into a bag, and place cooled cookies inside. Shake lightly until all the cookies are covered.
Serve in your favorite holiday dish!
