Ok, so these technically aren’t cakes, they’re cookies, but no matter what you call them – they are crazy good! I added just enough pumpkin spice to the dough and to the powdered sugar coating to give a little warmth and subtle spice without overpowering the cookies. I know most people make these melt-in-your-mouth confections around Christmas time, but they are so delicious and easy to make, I bake them all year round. They’re definitely my favorite cookie.
Ingredients:
Cookie dough:
1 cup pecans
3/4 teaspoon pumpkin spice
2 + 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, sifted
2 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Coating:
2 cups powdered sugar
3/4 teaspoon pumpkin spice
Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Toast the pecans on a sheet pan for a few minutes, being careful not to burn. Once cooled, chop the nuts finely.
2. Using an electric mixer, cream the butter and sugar together until fluffy. Slowly beat in the vanilla extract.
3. Gradually add the flour until all has been incorporated. With your hands, or a spatula, mix in the pecans.
4. Cover the mixing bowl and place dough in the refrigerator to chill for about an hour. In a shallow bowl combine the powdered sugar and pumpkin spice. Set aside.
5. Form the cookies by rolling the dough into 1 + 1/2-inch balls. Place 1 inch apart on a nonstick baking sheet.
6. Bake for 12 minutes, rotating halfway through. Allow cookies to cool for 1 minute before transferring to wire baking rack.
7. Let cookies cool for an additional 3-5 minutes until cool enough to handle, but still warm. Roll cookies in powdered sugar and pumpkin spice coating and set aside to cool completely.
8. Once cooled, roll cookies one more time in powdered sugar mix.
