I am baking choc. chips cookies, and pecan sandies. the sandies are a HUGE hit every year.
Pecan Sandies
Vegetarian
Makes about 4 dozen
These light and crumbly cookies are sometimes called "Mexican Tea Cookies" or "Sables".
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
3/4 cup powdered sugar
2 tsp real vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup very finely ground pecans
1 tsp salt
powdered sugar for dredging
Cream together butter and sugar at medium-high speed until light and fluffy. Add vanilla, flour, pecans and salt. Blend well. Gather dough into a ball, press into a flat disc, wrap and refrigerate for several hours or overnight. Preheat oven to 375°F. Scoop and roll dough into small teaspoon-sized balls (about 4 dozen balls) and place on a non-stick baking sheet about an inch apart. Bake for 810 minutes until barely golden. Remove, let sit for 1 minute then gently dredge cookies in powdered sugar. Cool completely and recoat.

Used to give my Mum home made goodies for Christmas, but she passed away in October and we don't give pressies to anyone other than our immediate family and my DB. He's too darn fussy when it comes to home made stuff, so I don't bother.
