DIRECTIONS

1. In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Cook until butter turns a medium-brown color and has a nutty aroma, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat, and pour into a bowl. Refrigerate until almost firm, about 1 hour, stirring occasionally.

2. Preheat oven to 300°.

3. In a large bowl, beat browned butter, confectioners’ sugar, and vanilla with a mixer at medium speed until creamy. Add flour, ground coffee, 2 tablespoons water, and salt, beating until combined. Add remaining 1 tablespoon water, if needed. Roll dough into 24 balls. Place balls 1 inch apart on a large ungreased baking sheet. Place pecans on dough balls, pressing to adhere.

4. Bake until bottoms of cookies are lightly browned, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool on pan for 5 minutes. Remove from pan, and let cool completely on a wire rack. Garnish with confectioners’ sugar, if desired.
