Cookies with Pecans Recipe

My family prefers these pecan cookies to any store-bought variety. Self-rising flour makes them a little different from most cookie recipes.

Cookies with Pecans Recipe

Prep/Total Time: 25 min.

Yield: 21 Servings

15 10 25

Ingredients

1/3 cup butter, softened
1/3 cup shortening
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1-1/2 cups self-rising flour
1/2 cup chopped pecans

Directions

In a large bowl, cream the butter, shortening and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla. Gradually add flour and mix well. Stir in pecans.
Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls 2 in. apart onto ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 375° for 9-11 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Cool for 1-2 minutes before removing to wire racks. Yield: about 3-1/2 dozen.

Editor's Note: As a substitute for each cup of self-rising flour, place 1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a measuring cup. Add all-purpose flour to measure 1 cup.
