COFFEE NUGGETS
2 tablespoons instant coffee granules
1 cup butter or margarine -- softened
1/3 cup sifted powdered sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup pecans -- finely chopped
Sifted powdered sugar
Crush coffee granules into fine powder, using mortar and pestle or back of spoon; set coffee powder aside.
Beat butter at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy; gradually add 1/3 cup powdered sugar, beating well. Add coffee powder, vanilla, flour, and pecans, mixing until well blended. Cover and chill at least 1 hour.
Shape dough into 1-inch balls; place on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake at 350 degrees F. for 12 minutes or until lightly browned. Transfer to wire racks; cool 10 minutes. Roll in powdered sugar; cool completely on wire racks. Roll in powdered sugar again, if desired. Yield: about 3-1/2 dozen
