4 Servings
Prep/Total Time: 30 min.

Ingredients

1/4 cup butter, softened, divided
1/3 cup finely chopped pecans
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon baking powder

Directions

In a small saucepan, melt 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat. Add pecans; cook and stir for 1 minute or until lightly toasted. Set aside.
In a small bowl, cream confectioners' sugar and remaining butter. Combine the flour, cinnamon, salt and baking powder; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well (dough will be crumbly). Stir in pecans.
Pat into a 5-in. circle on an ungreased baking sheet. Using a fork, prick score lines to form four wedges. Bake at 350° for 14-16 minutes or until edges are golden brown. Immediately cut along score lines. Cool for 2 minutes before carefully removing to a wire rack. Yield: 4 pieces.
