Every culture seems to have their own version of these delightful confections.  I have heard them called Mexican Wedding Cookies and Snowballs!  Whatever you call them, I hope you enjoy making them and enjoying them with your family.

Ingredients:
¾ cup margarine or butter, softened
½ cup brown sugar
1 T. Ice water
1 t. Vanilla
2 cups flour
1 cup pecans (very finely chopped)
Powdered sugar

Instructions:
*Heat oven to 350 degrees.
*Cream margarine and sugar.
* Add water and vanilla.
* Sprinkle 2 Tbs. Flour over nuts.  Add rest of flour to creamed mixture.
* Stir in nuts.  Mix lightly.
* Shape into balls. 
*Bake on greased cookie sheet 20-30 minutes or until slightly brown. 
*While warm, roll in powdered sugar. 
*Store in an airtight container.
