Ingredients
- ½ cup / 115 g Butter room temperature
- ¼ cup / 30 g Powdered Sugar
- 1 tsp / 5 ml Vanilla Essence
- 1 cup / 125 g All-purpose Flour
- ½ cups / 50 g Roasted Pecan Chopped
For Roll The Cookies

Instructions
Prepare The Pecans
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit or 180 degrees Celsius.
- Place 1/2 cups of roasted pecan into the food processor.
- Pulse it a few times, just enough to chop them into small sizes. Don’t overdo and chop them too much.
- You can use store-bought chopped pecans if you want to skip this part.
Make The Dough
- Take a large mixing bowl and place 1/2 cup of room-temperature butter in it.
- Add 1/4 cup of powdered sugar and 1 tsp vanilla essence to the bowl.
- Use a hand mixer, spatula, or stand mixer to combine the ingredients until smooth and creamy.
- Add 1 cup of all-purpose flour, a little at a time, until fully incorporated.
- Stir in the pecans you chopped earlier into the mix. Use a hand mixer or a spatula, and you can also switch to your hands and gently knead the dough.
Form The Cookies
- Grab a cookie sheet and line it with parchment paper.
- Using a measuring tablespoon, scoop 1 inch of cookie dough for each cookie.
- Roll the dough between your palms to form smooth, round balls.
- Place the formed balls on the prepared cookie sheet. Keep a little space between each cookie.
Bake, Coat and Serve!
- Place the cookies inside the preheated oven and bake for about 10-12 minutes or until the bottom is nice and golden.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 10-15 minutes.
- Take 1 cup of powdered sugar in a bowl, then roll the warm cookies into the powdered sugar.
- Roll the cookies gently until all the cookies are fully coated with the powdered sugar.
- Display the powdered cookies on a cake stand or package them in colorful gift boxes for a delicious homemade Mexican cookie treat!
