Notice: Delays Due to Hurricane Helene

Stuckey’s is recovering from a power outage caused by Hurricane Helene. We are working to fulfill back orders and return to our normal production and shipping schedules. We appreciate your understanding and patience during this time.

Makes about 4 dozen

Ingredients

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 cups cake flour (not self-rising)
1 cup chopped pecans
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar, for rolling

Make this recipe using Stuckey's Pecans

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 300°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with a silicone baking liner or parchment paper. In the bowl of a heavy-duty mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter, granulated sugar, and vanilla on medium speed until light and fluffy.

Add the flour, pecans, and salt, beating on low speed after each addition until well blended. Using a small ice cream scoop, shape the dough into 1-inch balls. Place 11/2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.

Bake until the bottoms of the cookies are lightly browned, about 30 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool slightly. While still warm, roll the cookies in the confectioners’ sugar until evenly coated. Transfer to a wire rack set on top of a rimmed baking sheet to cool completely. Store in a tightly covered container.
