Beat butter until whipped in large bowl for 30 seconds. Add 1/2 cup sugar, beat until mixed. Scrape down bowl and add milk, vanilla and salt. Beat until combined and then start adding flour, 1/2 cup at a time until all mixed in. Add nuts and make sure it's all combined.
Pre heat oven to 325. Using a teaspoon and hands, form 24-36 balls. Place on ungreased cookie sheets and bake for 15 minutes until lightly browned on bottom. Take off cookie sheet and place on paper toweled lined counter.
Put remaining powdered sugar in paper bag and place cookies in bag 4-5 at a time and gently shake until well covered. Put cookies in airtight container or cookie jar.
A great variation is to add 1/2 cup of mini morsel chocolate chips, do everything else the same.

12/22/08 01:52 AM | Confusing InstructionsAmen, Miss6ft3and1516! I couldn't agree more. That's the whole problem with these sites, the recipes, or pretty pictures catch your eye, but when you attempt the recipe you find ingredients missing, or amounts botched, or ingredients contained in the listing never made reference to in the instructions, etc. This is very frustrating, and could be, costly. In this case, the instruction is simply confusing, but I've seen much worse on other sites. What you wrote is what I've been thinking for a long time, but you described the problem so aptly, and much better than I could ever hope to. Thanks. This needed to be addressed. |

12/04/08 05:11 AM | confusing powdered sugar amountsThe first two reviewers must have written their opinions based on using their own recipes, not this one. This recipe calls for powdered sugar twice...once in the dough, and a second time for dusting the baked cookies. The first measurement, for the dough, calls for 1 1/2 cups, but then you are instructed to only mix in 1/2 cup. It doesn't make sense. If you want to try these, I'd recommend using a different recipe, from a tested source. This is what's so annoying about this recipe site...so many are sloppily written, unchecked, and hurriedly typed by amateurs who apparently don't give a hoot about anything more than seeing their name in print online. The really sad thing is, these errors are more the rule on this site, than the exception. I can't be the only person who hates to waste ingredients, because of a messed up recipe. |

12/01/07 08:48 PM | a family favoriteI've been making this recipe for many many years. Sometimes I substitute walnuts for the pecans. But I always make this at Christmas time and everyone loves them. The dough is very simple to make - but shaping them takes time and patience. The dough is so light and crumbly, you have to rely on the heat of your hands to mold the cookies into shape. I double or triple the recipe some years, and they freeze well after baking & cooling. |

Here's an easy, reliable way to ensure a moist and flavorful turkey...simply baste the turkey with chicken stock during roasting. When the turkey is done, use a bit more stock to make a quick and tasty gravy.
