After trying these they are officially on my Christmas Cookie List!!!
Ingredients:
2/3 cups of toasted and finely chopped pecans
1 c unsalted butter room temp
1/4 c powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp of salt
2 cups of flour
Topping
1 c powdered sugar
Preheat 350 degrees
Start by toasting the pecan for 5 min at 350 degrees. Allow them to cool before chopping or processing. Add 2 tablespoons of flour to your pecans before you chop. You can either process in a food processor or use a food chopper. I used my pampered chef chopper. Set aside.
Cream butter and sugar with mixer until fluffy about 2 min. Beat in vanilla. Add remaining flour and ingredients and beat until combined. Stir in pecans. You can use a spoon or your hands.
Cover and refrigerate for one hour. Roll dough into 1 inch circles and bake at 350 degrees for 13-16 min until light brown on bottom. Allow them to cool 5 minutes on rack before you roll them in sifted powdered sugar.
These cookies are very delicate and tasty. My kids loved them. They reminded me of soft pecan sandies.
