Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 cup butter, at room temperature
  • 1/3 cup white sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1/2 cup finely ground pecans
  • 1 2/3 cups flour
  • pinch salt
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon

Instruction

  • Preheat your oven to 325 degrees F.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together, until it is smooth and fluffy.
  • Mix in the vanilla.
  • Add the ground pecans, flour and salt. Mix well.
  • Light grease an 8×8 baking pan (I am using the Nordic Ware Sweet Snowflakes Baking Pan)
  • Press the cookie batter into the pan. You may find the batter sticky, so use a piece of saran wrap over your fingers to help you spread the batter evenly.
  • Bake for 40 – 45 minutes, or until the edges are soft golden brown.
  • While the cookies are baking, mix together the cinnamon and sugar. Set aside.
  • After the cookie pie has finished baking, let it sit in the pan to cool for about 10 minutes, then turn the large cookie onto a plate. The easiest way to turn it out onto a plate, is to place the plate over the pan, hold them tightly together, then turn the pan over gently and let the cookie slide out onto the serving plate.
  • Now generously sprinkle the top with the cinnamon sugar mix.
  • Let cool completely.
  • Cut into pieces and serve!
  • Enjoy.
