Made with butter, powdered sugar, and nuts this Danish Wedding Cookies recipe results in cookies with a tender, melt-in-your-mouth texture that’s just as lovely at weddings as it is on Christmas cookie platters!
1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Cream butter, half the powdered sugar and vanilla with a hand mixer until lighter in colour and fluffy; about one minute.
2. Add a large sieve over the bowl and add a half cup of the powdered sugar, flour and salt. Use a spoon to mix the dry ingredients through the sieve into the butter mixture below.
3. Add the pecans and mix until blended evenly. Roll a heaping teaspoon of the dough into a ball and place on a non-stick cookie sheet or cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 8-10 minutes. Do not brown.
