Ingredients

Scale
  1. 1 cup Miller Pecans
  2. 3/4 cup Braum’s Unsalted Butter, room temperature
  3. 1/4 teaspoon salt
  4. 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  5. 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  6. 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  7. 1/4 cup Braum’s Eggnog
  8. 1 teaspoon Griffin’s Vanilla
  9. 1 3/4 cups Shawnee Mills All-Purpose Flour
  10. Additional powdered sugar for dusting
  1. Toast pecans by placing in a single layer on a cookie sheet and baking in a 300-degree oven for 15 minutes. Watch closely to make sure they don’t burn. Set aside, and allow to cool. Chop pecans into pieces.
  2. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
  3. Cream the butter, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg and sugar with a mixer for 2 minutes, until creamy. Add the eggnog, and blend for 1 minute. Blend in vanilla. Add the flour ½ cup at a time and mix until the dough starts to come together, about 3-4 minutes. Fold in the pecans.
  4. The dough will be firm. Form 1-inch balls with a dough scoop or with your hands. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake 12-15 minutes or until done. Check for a light brown bottom on the cookie.
  5. Allow cookies to cool, then roll in powdered sugar.
