Pecan Powder Puffs

In my collection of recipes, I have one called "Butter Balls" which is very similar to Dorie's Pecan Powder Puffs.  I must say, however, that Dorie's recipe is better.  Why?

Dorie's recipe has a higher proportion of butter, a pinch of cinnamon, and pecans instead of walnuts.  Also, Dorie asks you to chill the dough for two hours and I'm sure that helps preserve the shape.  But really, it's all about the butter.

Another winner!  Check out Tianne of Buttercream Barbie for Dorie's recipe.

    My recipe is called Butterball cookies too! My Grandma gave it to me years ago. Your cookies look great! I loved this recipe too and will make them again!

    I think it usually is all about the butter! Have a great day.

    This is such a good recipe and I'm glad that I gave these a try. I used almond and ginger and that was a wonderful combination.
