Pecan Puffs (aka Mexican Wedding Cookies)

Squeezing in another yummy and easy recipe before Christmas is upon us.
This one is simple and mildly sweet.
*-* The dough only has 2 Tb. sugar...the sweetness comes from the powdered sugar that you roll the cookies in...twice....after baking. Only FIVE simple ingredients called for in the cookie dough...and then powdered sugar too.
I loved that the whole batch fit on one cookie sheet too. It made 20 cookies. Perfect for something quick to add to a holiday tray or get together.
I've had this recipe in my files for over 30 years. I know this is a classic cookie, and this is my 'classy' recipe.

I made the balls walnut sized...I think it makes them perfect.
Enjoy every tender, buttery, flaky, melt-in-your-mouth bite!
