Pecan Balls


Great with coffee!

1/2 cup icing sugar
1 cup soft butter
2 t. salt
2 cups flour
2 cups pecan, finely chopped
instant coffee or expresso powder

Add sugar to butter slowly, cream thoroughly. Add vanilla, flour, salt and pecans and blend well. Chill several hours.
Shape chilled dough into balls about the size of large marbles. Bake on greased cookie sheet at 350 F about 15 minutes or until light light brown.
Remove from cookie sheets.
Roll carefully in a small amount of sifted icing sugar at once until well coated.
Cool. Roll second time in a mixture of icing sugar and coffee powder using a ratio of 1 T coffee powder to 1 cup icing sugar.
