BUTTER PECAN COOKIES
When my daughter was a teen, these butter pecan cookies earned her two blue ribbons from two county fairs. Then a few years ago, her own daughter took home a blue ribbon for the same cookie. Needless to say, these mouthwatering morsels are real winners!-Martha Thefield, Cedartown, Georgia

GRANDMA'S PECAN COOKIES
I have fond memories of helping my grandmother make these delicious cookies. It was a family favorite and she brought it to gatherings often. She gave me the recipe in 1967 when I was getting married. Over the years it "disappeared". Imagine my excitement when I found it recently. This is a crispy cooke that is not too sweet. I hope this will be a memory for my grandchildren.

GRANDMA'S CRISPY DATE AND PECAN COOKIES
Family Christmas tradition. Is it candy or a cookie? Grandma Ziegler says it's a cookie that tastes better than candy. Enjoy with a cup of coffee. They are yummy. Store in an airtight container; do not store in the refrigerator.

GRANDMA'S PECAN BALLS (FROM AUNT KATIE)
I always thought the origin of these cookies was Germany, and my paternal Grandmother set me straight when I asked for the recipe today - it came from Aunt Katie (who isn't really my Aunt, she's my godmother). In any case, here are my most favourite cookies that Grandma makes - I'll have to post the rest of the authentic German recipes she gave me years ago as well... she's been making these since I was kneehigh to a grasshopper!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Cream butter with sugar.
- Add flour and pecans, mix well.
- Roll into balls, about the size of a large gumball, and place on a cookie sheet (I prefer to line mine with parchment, but I'm sure cooking spray would do.).
- Bake at 350 for 20 minutes, or until very lightly browned.
- While still warm, roll in superfine sugar - this is important because the dough does not have much sugar.
PECAN SANDIES
OUR GRANDCHILDREN go through these cookies like locusts in a wheat field! I always tell my husband to try hiding them when the grandkids come, but their little noses find them every time. -Martha Crowe, La Plata, Maryland
