Pecan Balls

Image
You’ll Need: 2 sticks of margarine. 4 tbsps of sugar. 2 cups of chopped pecans. 2 cups of flour. 2 tsps of vanilla. How to: In a bowl, mix all of the ingredients using your hand and roll into balls. In a preheated oven to 350°, bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Once lightly browned, roll in the powdered sugar while still hot, and again when cooled. Easy, peasy and sweet! I personally don’t use a lot of powdered sugar. I just sprinkle some over the top. But the original recipe is to roll the biscuits in the powdered sugar! Try it yourselves and let me know what you think.
