*I prefer #3 myself*
Simply sweet and easy to make…..I have been making these delectable delights since I was in my teens. Thank heaven for the dough hook in my KitchenAid mixer, I feel sure I burned up a few mixers of Mama’s, or maybe her Sunbeam was more powerful than they are today. This is a really thick and stiff cookie dough, with no need to chill before rolling into the little balls…its so fun getting your hands in the dough and rolling it around. 
Here’s the recipe if you are unable to read from the photo.
*You would have to have really GOOD eyes!*
Sand Tarts
*To yield 60 tarts*
*To yield 60 tarts*
1 cup butter, softened to room temperature
5 Tablespoons confectioners’ sugar plus extra for rolling
2 cups all purpose flour
2 teaspoons of vanilla
1 ½ cups chopped pecans
Cream softened butter with sugar, add the flour slowly, then add vanilla and pecans. Dough will be very stiff. Mix well. Do not burn up the mixer. *I burnt up my red Sunbeam stand mixer making Divinity one Christmas…bad deal* Roll into small bite-size balls and place on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet. Bake 335F to 350F oven for ½ hour. Roll cookies in the extra sugar while they are still a little warm but *NOT HOT*. Enjoy!
Be looking for the photos of the new mother-to-be at the baby shower where these sweet little things will be eaten up.

oh, that's one of my favorite cookies. I begged a woman that I once worked with for the recipe because hers were so light and just exploded tenderly when I bit into them. She waited until she was ready to retire.
yum - I know they will be loved at the shower.
