1 c. butter
3/4 c. sifted powdered sugar
2 tbsp. milk
1 1/2 c. sifted all-purpose flour
3/4 c. sifted cornstarch
3/4 c. chopped pecans
2 1/2 c. sifted powdered sugar
1 tbsp. soft butter
3 tbsp. lemon juice
Few drops yellow food coloring (optional)

Stir 1 cup butter to soften; add 3/4 cup powdered sugar, milk, flour, and cornstarch. Cream until well blended; chill.

Place small spoonfuls of chopped pecans 2 inches apart on an ungreased baking sheet; shape dough into small balls (about 1 teaspoon) and flatten each over a pile of pecans. (I just add pecans to dough.)

Bake in 350 degree oven for 12-15 minutes; cool. Combine remaining ingredients and spread over cookies. Makes about 4 dozen.
