Sandies

These are yummy, bite sized cookies. I like to make them around the holidays... they are great filler for goody baskets and a hand mixer is all you need. I got the recipe from my grandmother, Jean Davis.

Ingredients:
1 Cup Butter
1/3 Cup White Sugar
2 Teaspoons Water
2 Teaspoons Vanilla
2 Cups shifted White Flour
1 Cup chopped Pecans
Powdered Sugar

Directions:
Cream Butter and Sugar. Add Water and Vanilla, Mix well. Blend in Flour and Nuts. Chill dough in refrigerator 4 hours. Shape chilled dough in balls, fingers, or any desired shape. Bake at 325 degrees for 20 minutes using an ungreased cookie sheet. Remove from pan, cool slightly, and roll in powdered sugar.

After cookies cool completely, store in an air tight container. These cookies freeze well.
