I feel like this coming Christmas is going to more about baking! I love baking during the Holiday season and love the expressions of my baby girl enjoying what I bake for her!
- 2 Sticks (1Cup) of Unsalted Butter
- 1 Cup of finely crushed Pecans
- 1/2 Cup of Powdered Sugar
- 1 Tsp of Vanilla
- 1 Tbsp of Ground Cinnamon
- 2 Cups of Flour
- Cream butter until light and fluffy
- Add 1/2 cup of powdered sugar and vanilla to the butter. Blend well.
- Add flour and mix well.
- Grind almonds or pecans and add to cookie dough and mix well.
- Place dough on a container and wrap with plastic. Refrigerate for about 15 minutes.
- Preheat oven at 350F. Make small balls and press down to flatten. Place them on a cookie sheet one inch apart. Bake for 15-18 minutes or until golden at the bottom.
- Let cookies rest for about 5 minutes on cookie sheet then transfer to cooling rack.
You’re not going to believe how delicious these pecan cookies are! I make these butter pecan cookies every year during the holidays. I always get plenty of compliments and they disappear quickly. This recipe is adapted from my very own Mexican wedding cookies recipe.
These butter pecan cookies are so delicate and will melt in your mouth. A perfect holiday baking recipe to bake with your children and share with your family this holiday season! Nothing better than having a cup of coffee and Butter Pecan Cookies. Trust me, they can be very addictive and you won’t be able to eat just one cookie!

These look SO good… seriously! YUM! I don’t usually like large pieces of nuts in my cookies, so I almost always omit the nuts in a recipe, but crushed like this would solve that problem – it sounds delicious. Thanks for sharing, I’m going to add these to my Christmas cookie list!
These look yummy! Pinned for holiday baking. 🙂
