Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter softened
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 cup Finely chopped pecans
  • 1/2 cup miniature chocolate chips
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line two sheet pans with parchment paper or nonstick baking mats.
  2. Place the butter and granulated sugar in the bowl of a mixer and beat until light and fluffy. 
  3. Add the vanilla extract and beat for 30 seconds.
  4. Add the flour, pecans and chocolate chips. Mix on low speed until a crumbly dough forms.
  5. Roll the dough into 1 inch balls and place 1 1/2 inches apart on the prepared pans.
  6. Bake for 16-18 minutes until light brown. Let the cookies cool for 5 minutes, then roll them in the powdered sugar.
  7. Let the cookies cool completely then roll again in powdered sugar. Serve.

Notes

  • Keep these cookies on the smaller side so that they hold their round shape when they bake.
  • You can use a measuring spoon or cookie scoop to make sure the cookies come out similar in size.
  • Dip the cookies in powdered sugar two times - once when they're hot, and a second time after they've cooled off.
  • Finely chop the pecans so that they can be evenly distributed throughout the dough.
