These melt in your mouth cookies are a classic buttery, 
soft cookie you will love to make and eat every holiday season!

 Ingredients:

Makes 24 cookies
  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 2 cups powdered sugar, divided
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 cup pecans, finely chopped

Directions:

                  1. In a large mixing bowl, add butter and 1 cup powdered sugar. 
                  2. Beat with a mixer until fluffy.
                  3. Add vanilla and slowly add flour and mix until just combined.
                  4.  Fold in chopped pecans with a rubber spatula until mixed well. 
                  5. Cover the bowl and chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.
                  6. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
                  7. Scoop out dough and roll into golf ball size dough balls. 
                  8. Place in rows on a lined baking sheet. 
                  9. Bake cookies for 14 minutes.
                  10. Remove from oven and let cool slightly then while cookies are still warm, roll them in remaining 1 cup powdered sugar. 
                  11. Place cookies on a cooling rack and let cool completely. 
                  12. Roll in powdered sugar again then serve or store in a sealed container.

                  In a large mixing bowl, add butter and one cup powdered sugar. 
                  Beat with a mixer until fluffy.
                  You want small pieces of pecan in these soft cookies so either buy pecans pieces or crush chopped pecans like I did with a rolling pin or food processor. 
                  Add vanilla and slowly add flour and mix until just combined.
                   Fold in chopped pecans with a rubber spatula until mixed well. 
                  Cover the bowl and chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.
                  Scoop out dough and roll into golf ball size dough balls. 
                  Place in rows on a lined baking sheet. 
                  Bake at 350 degrees for 14 minutes.
                  Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
                   Then while cookies are still warm, roll them in powdered sugar. 
                  Place cookies on a cooling rack and let cool completely. 
                  Roll in powdered sugar again then serve or store in a sealed container.

                  🍽 Yesterday we enjoyed lunch at NCAL+H2O, an upscale seafood gem of a restaurant in downtown Rolla. It was a delicious meal and everything this Florida girl has been craving! 
🐟 We started with an order of amazing Tuna Poke Nachos then shared a Grilled Shrimp Club sandwich with fries and a tasty salad with house garlic parm dressing. We couldn't stop there so we also split a bowl of cioppino, which was chock full of fresh seafood. Next time I want to try their Parmesan Halibut or Seafood Pasta! 
❤ If you are looking for a nice restaurant to celebrate an anniversary or have a quiet date night (or day date like us) check out @saltwaterrollamo ! 
⭐ Lunch was courtesy of @rolladowntown.  I was a winner of $100 in downtown dollars in their Tis the Season of Giving contest!

                  🥡 We tried @doordash for the first time during our stay in Branson tonight. It really saved us time and energy running around town and delivery was free! We ordered ramen, bi bim bap, and lo mein from a local Asian restaurant called Noodle 21. It was delish! Check them out if you are in the area and send me a message if you want a referral for $5 off to try #doordash ! @noodle21branson #eatlocal #branson #takeoutfood #whatsfordinner

                  It is pizza night and it’s @caseys to the rescue! After a busy week this tired Mama needed an easy dinner. Luckily Casey’s has tasty pizza to go and I ordered right on the app. Our fresh made Chicken Bacon Ranch Pizza was ready for store pickup in no time. Check out Casey’s new free curbside, available at most stores, and enjoy an easy and delicious Casey’s pizza night too! #sponsored #CaseysCurbside

                  Road trip time and #CaseysCurbside saved the day! We stopped at @caseys and stocked up on some supplies, including my favorite pretzels and juice from their new line of Casey’s favorites, before we were on our way. I love that I can order right on Caseys.com or via their app and pickup using their free and easy curbside. #sponsored

                  We drove out to Marshfield today and made a few Route 66 stops including the Missouri Welcome Center in Conway with it's Route 66 themed picnic area and downtown Marshfield with the murals and Hubble telescope replica. Love all the cool places to see in Missouri! 🚗 #route66 #Missouri #marshfield #exploremore #travelgram #roadtrip
