1. Pre-heat the oven to 190 C, fan 175 C, gas mark 5. In a food processor, blitz the pecan nuts until fine.
2. In a large bowl, cream together the Clover Lighter and icing sugar with a wooden spoon. Add the vanilla extract and the flour and mix well. Finally, combine the ground pecan nuts and mix to combine. Bring the cookie dough together with your hands.
3. Divide the dough into 32 pieces. Roll each piece into a walnut size round and place them on two large un-greased baking trays leaving some space in between each ball. Flatten each round slightly with your thumb to make a dip in the middle. Sprinkle the pine nuts over and lightly press into the dough.
4. Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes until golden. Leave on the trays for 5 minutes and then remove to cool on a wire rack. Dredge with icing sugar.
