 Roll cookies in powdered sugar-cinnamon mixture, while warm, or sift it over the tops. (I baked these a minute or two longer than I'd have liked.) |

Pecan-laden German Drop Cookies are reminiscent of Mexican wedding cookies, but I like these even better for the cinnamon-laced powdery topping. You can make ahead and freeze the dough if well wrapped, then thaw and bake at a later date. This recipe appeared in Relish Magazine a few years ago.
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter, softened
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
Directions
- Combine butter, granulated sugar, flour, salt and pecans with a spoon (lazy me, I used an electric mixer for the first 4 ingredients then stirred in the pecans.
- Shape into 1-inch balls and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake 18-20 minutes, until bottoms are lightly golden brown.
- Combine powdered sugar and cinnamon. Sift powdered sugar mixture over warm cookies or roll them in it. Cool on wire rack.
- Makes 5 dozen.
