The title is a lie, but it's what Janice's family calls these. They're really pecan cookies.

  • 2 cups ground pecans
  • 3/4 cup white sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • dash cinnamon
  • 1 cup vegetable shortening
  • 2 eggs

Method

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Grease tart tins.
  • Mix together all dry ingredients.
  • Cut in shortening.
  • Add eggs and knead well.
  • Press 1 tablespoon of dough into each tart tin.
  • Bake until cookies are golden brown (about 20 minutes).
  • Remove from oven.
  • While cookies are still warm, remove from tins and roll in white sugar.
  • Cool on wire rack.
