Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cayenne pepper until well combined. Set aside.
-
In a separate large bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy using a hand mixer or stand mixer.
-
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and beat until smooth and well combined.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until the dough comes together. Stir in the chopped pecans until evenly distributed.
-
Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
-
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden brown around the edges.
-
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Once the cookies have cooled, dust them generously with powdered sugar for a snowy finish.
-
Serve these Easy Mexican Cookies with a cup of hot cocoa or your favorite coffee for a delicious and comforting treat that will warm your soul.
