Servings: 2 dozen cookies
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup confectioner’s sugar plus more for dusting finished cookies
- 1/2 cup pecans
- 1/4 cup sweetened flaked coconut (optional)
- 1/2 cup butter or non-dairy alternative room temperature
- 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
- 1 tsp. orange zest or peel optional
- 1 cup 135 grams gfJules™ All Purpose Flour OR 110 grams gfJules Nada Flour*
- 1/4 tsp. salt
Instructions
- Using a large food processor, pulse the confectioner’s sugar, pecans, and coconut until the pecans are finely chopped and tossed well with the sugar.
- With an electric mixer or the food processor, beat together the butter and pecan mixture until fully integrated.
- Mix in the vanilla and the orange zest. Slowly add the gfJules Flour and salt, beating or pulsing until blended and a soft dough is formed.
- Cover the dough tightly and refrigerate until cold and firm, not sticky – usually at least 2 hours.
- Preheat oven to 325° F (static). Scoop cold dough into large teaspoon-sized balls and roll between your palms to form a round ball. Place each formed ball onto a parchment-lined cookie sheet 1-2 inches apart.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges begin to brown slightly. Remove to cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes.
- Sift approximately 1/2 cup confectioner’s sugar into a small flat-bottomed bowl, then gently toss each cookie in the bowl to lightly coat with sugar and serve.
- Yield: 2 dozen cookies, depending on size.
