Ingredients

1 pouch (17.5 oz) Betty Crocker™ sugar cookie mix

1/2 cup Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour

1/2 cup butter, melted

1 egg

3/4 cup finely chopped pecans

1 1/2 cups powdered sugar

Directions

1 Heat oven to 350°F.

2 In large bowl, mix cookie mix, flour, melted butter and egg with spoon until soft dough forms. Stir in pecans. Press firmly to shape dough into 1 1/4-inch balls. Place 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheets.

3 Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until set but not brown. Cool 2 minutes on cookie sheet; remove to cooling rack. Cool 5 minutes. In small bowl, place powdered sugar. Roll each warm cookie in powdered sugar, and place on cooling rack. Cool completely, at least 20 minutes.
