When I was baking this cookies, the food network rated as to easy but for me as a beginner.. Oh boy! that was difficult. Especially that I was using a hand mixer to mix the ingredients. The first time I bake this, it was hard and on my second time. It was not so hard because Brian bought a kitchen aid mixer. Everything was quick in mixing the ingredients. 
Whip up simple pecan cookies that are perfect for any special occasion or holiday. In my opinion that using a food processor to chopped the pecan is really easy. I love pecan nuts and so my hubby.
Recipe Summary
Yield: 2 1/2 dozen cookies
Prep time: 20 minutes
Cook time: 40 minutes
Ease of preparation: Easy
Ingredients
1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar, plus more for coating baked cookies
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting hands
1 cup pecans, chopped into very small pieces
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper. Use parchment paper because you have clean cookie sheet after every bake.
Using an electric mixer, cream the butter and sugar at low speed until smooth. Beat in the vanilla. At low speed gradually add the flour. Mix in the pecans with a spatula. With floured hands, take out about 1 tablespoon of dough and shape into a crescent. Continue to dust hands with flour as you make more cookies. Place onto prepared cookie sheets. Bake for 40 minutes. When cool enough to handle but still warm, roll in additional confectioners' sugar. Cool on wire racks.
I use kitchen aid mixer- not a hand mixer to mix the ingredients. Just follow the recipe and viola! you are good to go. I am wishing to be a good baker. My friend Aileen commented that my cookies is so good. She ate it with a green tea.
