Welcome to Christmas Cookies Week! I cannot BELIEVE it’s only 46 days until Christmas! Except this year I think we’ve earned it.
What a whirlwind of a year we’ve had, which has made diving into Christmas already, a necessity for my heart and soul.
Yes, we’ve put our decorations up. Yes I’m already listening to Christmas music and yes my house smells like holiday baking most weekends now.
I know it’s early. I get it. But it’s what my soul need this year.

We are huge snickerdoodle fans around here.
While I think the recipe we use for Snickerdoodles is one of the best I’ve ever had, I knew that some tweaking might be fun too.
So we set out to use our favorite recipe but add a delicious nutty twist. It’s light, subtle but adds SO much flavor!
These are a winner!

Cinnamon Pecan Snickerdoodles
Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups all purpose flour
- ½ cup Pecan Meal also sometimes called pecan flour
- 2 teaspoons cream of tartar
- 1 teaspoons baking soda
- ½ teaspoons salt
- 1 cup butter softened
- 1 ⅓ cups granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs room temperature
- 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
For Topping
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoons cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a small bowl, combine the topping ingredients and set aside.
- In a large bowl whisk together the flour, pecan meal, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
- In another bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add vanilla and eggs and beat until well combined.
- Add the flour mixture, a little at a time to the butter mixture until combined.
- Form even balls approximately 1-inch with the dough and roll in cinnamon sugar topping mixture.
- Place evenly on non-stick cookie sheet (we love Anolon!) about 2 inches apart.
- Bake 10-12 minutes. The secret to keeping them soft and moist is to make sure you don’t overcook them.
- Allow them to cool just slightly on baking sheet. About 5 minutes.
- Transfer to wire rack to cool completely and then store in air tight container for about 1 week.
All of my favorite flavors in one little sweet and tasty cookie! Merry Christmas to me!!!
Digging all the flavors in this cookie! But I’m a sucker for a pecan cookie.
