Mexican Wedding Cookies

Sorry for the lack of posts lately. It has been so crazy around here.

I love these cookies. I make them every Christmas. I double the recipe and there is plenty to take around to neighbors and friends.
2 cups flour
1 cup finely chopped pecans
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (I always put in more a heaping 1/4 teaspoon)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup butter
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup powdered sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
additional powdered sugar

Combine flour, pecans, cinnamon and salt; mix well and set aside. In a larger bowl, beat butter and sugars until creamy. Add vanilla; beat well. Gradually add flour mixture to butter mixture; beat on low speed just until dry ingredients are incorporated. Using a cookie scoop, drop level scoops of dough, 1 inch apart, onto baking sheet. Bake 12-14 minutes or until cookies are set but not brown. Remove cookies to cooling rack; cool 5 minutes. While cookies are still warm, roll in additional powdered sugar to coat. Then I usually wait another 5 minutes and roll them again in the powdered sugar. Cool Completely.
