Danish wedding cookies recipe is already sweet enough , but you may want to add a drop of vanilla extract or another sweetener if they are too sweet for your taste.
1/2 cup powdered (confectioners’/icing) sugar, plus some more for coating
1 cup of salted butter
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 cup ground pecans
Instructions
A baking rack should be placed in the middle of the oven while it is preheated to 300°F, 150°C, or gas mark 2. Use parchment paper to line 2 cookie sheets.
In the bowl of an electric mixer with the paddle attachment, combine the butter, powdered sugar, cinnamon, and ground pecans. For around 3 to 4 minutes, mix at medium speed until fluffy and light. The flour should be added and mixed together slowly, just until the dough comes together. As necessary, use a spatula to scrape the bowl's sides.
Scoop out parts of the dough using a 1-tbsp cookie scoop. Each piece should be rolled into a ball between your palms. Dust your hands with flour if the dough is sticky. On the prepared baking sheets, arrange the cookies 2 inches (or 5 cm) apart.
For 20 to 25 minutes, bake the Danish wedding cookies until the edges are just starting to brown. During the second half of baking, rotate the baking sheets.
After removing the cookies from the oven, let them cool for ten minutes on the baking sheet. Once the cookies are cool enough to handle, place them on a wire rack and let them set for a while.
Powdered sugar should be added to a small mixing dish. Roll each cookie in the bowl of sugar until it is totally covered while the cookies are still warm.
