ITALIAN BRIDE’S PECAN COOKIES (PASTELITOS DE BODA) RECIPE ...



Italian Bride’s Pecan Cookies (Pastelitos De Boda) Recipe ... image

This is a pecan, crumbly, melt-in-your-mouth, cookie, that's perfect in the winter season, as the powdered sugar dusted on the cookies resembles snow. These are surprisingly quick and easy to make. This is an American twist on a classic Italian recipe, as it is made with pecans rather than the traditional almonds or hazelnuts. It's from Gourmet Magazine (Nov. 1986) and is currently featured as one of "Gourmet’s Favorite Cookies: 1941-2008".

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar, sifted, plus additional for dusting the cookies

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F In a bowl sift together the flour, 1/2 cup of the confectioners’ sugar, the pecans and a pinch of salt, stir in the vanilla, and blend in the butter until the mixture is combined well.
