Today Adriana and Nery are making three kinds of butter cookies -- pecan, chocolate chip and plain with a cherry on top. Adriana begins by scooping out 1.2 kilos (2-1/2 lbs) of butter to which she adds 8 eggs and a coup of sugar. This will make about 200 cookies. Nery mixes the butter mixture until it is creamy and light. |

Adriana stirs in 1.8 kilos (4 lbs) of all purpose flour and two spoons of baking power. She stirs slowly with a spoon until the flour is covered by the butter mixture, then she finishes the mixing by hand. She divides the finished dough into three parts -- one to be mixed with 2 cups of broken pecans, one for chocolate chips, and one plain with a cherry on top. |

Adriana butters and flours a large sheet pan that she has covered with foil. |
They begin rolling the pecan batter into little balls and laying them on the sheet pan. |
Little balls of plain dough get a cherry on top. |
