Directions:Toast pecans until golden brown at 325 degrees. Make sure to stir frequently in order not to burn.
In a medium bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until smooth. Beat in the water and vanilla. Stir in the flour and pecans until well blended. Cover dough and chill for at least four hours.
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Shape dough into walnut sized balls or crescents. Place 2 inches apart onto unprepared cookie sheets.
Bake for 18 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven, until golden. Roll in confectioners' sugar while still warm. |

Notes: Sandies always meant that it was Christmas time in our house. Mom would start off making a double batch of these and then usually have to make more. Over the years we have experimented with exchanging butter for margarine and whether to toast pecans or not ( I toast and use margarine).
