Pecan Delight

Light and buttery, oh so good.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup butter or margarine
• 1 cup shortening
• 1 1/2 cups sugar
• 3 cups flour
• 1 tsp. baking powder
Advertisement


• 1 tsp. baking soda
• 3/4 tsp. salt
• 1/2 cup finely chopped pecans
• 1 tsp. vanilla

Directions:

Cream margarine, shortening and sugar until fluffy and sugar dissolves.

Mix flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; mix slowly into creamed mixture. Mix in pecans. Cover and refrigerate for easier handling.

Roll dough into 1 inch balls, Arrange on cookie sheet and bake 11 to 14 minutes or until done at 350 degrees F. Do not over cook.

I sometimes omit the pecans and roll in cinnamon sugar, or add coconut to part of the dough for a change. Bake the same.
