1. Preheat the oven to 325°F. 2. Place all of the jar ingredients in a medium-sized bowl, and stir until well combined. Set aside. 3. Place the butter, water, and vanilla extract in a large bowl, and cream with an electric mixer set on low speed or with a fork. 4. Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, and blend with a mixer set on low speed or with a spoon until well combined. Cover the dough and chill for 4 hours. 5. Form the dough into 1-inch balls and arrange them on an ungreased baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading. 6. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until slightly brown on the bottom. Remove the cookies from the baking sheet, and roll each ball in the remaining powdered sugar while still warm. Then transfer to wire racks and cool completely. 7. Serve immediately, or store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks. CREATING THE JAR 1. Wash and thoroughly dry a 1-quart wide-mouth canning jar. 2. Layer the ingredients in the jar as shown below, pressing firmly with a flat-bottomed object, such as a tart tamper or the bottom of a narrow glass, after each addition. Make the layers as level as possible. TOP of the jar 1 cup chopped pecans 1/3 cup powdered sugar 2 cups all-purpose flour BOTTOM of the jar 3. Secure the lid, and decorate as desired (see The Basics: 06-Creating the Jars; DECORATING THE JAR). Attach the instructions for making the cookies found in the Gift Jar Tags chapter.
