Delightful cookies, this Secret Kiss Cookies recipe will melt in your mouth. They are light, buttery, easy to make, and have a surprise inside.

These cookies have a buttery shortbread base, toasty pecans, a coating of powdered sugar, and a chocolate treat inside. They are for perfect for Christmas!

Secret Kiss Cookies recipe

This cookie has many names, Mexican Wedding Cookies, Russian Teacakes, Wedding Cookies, or Pecan Sandies. But none as delicious as these with a hidden chocolate treat in the center!

These cookies are simple but hard to resist. They melt-in-your-mouth, dense, and crumbly. If you want to test your willpower, try to eat just one!

You can use walnut, almonds, or pecans. Pecans are classic and my favorite.

Additionally, you can toast the pecans or leave them untoasted. To toast, throw them in the oven for 8 to 10 minutes at 350 degrees.

A small food processor makes chopping the fine much easier than doing it by hand.

    I made Paula’s cookies and they are delicious! The one thing I would say is that they DO NOT make 40 cookies. If you are wrapping the batter in a normally sized kiss they will make at most 25 cookies 🙁 thanks for the great recipe though!

    i KNOW they won’t taste the same…and i LOVE butter…but all I have is leftover margarine for when I was making something for a vegan (I know…)

      I honestly don’t know if they’ll turn out the same or not. I never use margarine in anything.

      I NEVER use butter. I always use “Blue Bonnet” and they are delicious. I don’t have any texture problems with the dough. My recipe also calls for powdered sugar though.

    For the past couple of years when I make these cookies they melt in the oven. I follow the recipe exactly but don’t understand why they melt down instead of just browning. Anyone have any ideas what is going on??? My brother and daughter love these and I usually make them as Christmas gifts for them….not the past two years though.

    Hi! Do you think these would be just as good without the pecans? Trying to accommodate nut allergies.

    Thank you,
    Andrea

      You’ll need to replace that amount with flour and it may take a little more flour than the measurement of the pecans, you’ll just need to kind of test it. Add extra flour 1 tablespoon at a time until the flour ‘kind of absorbs’ the butter in the dough and is a little firm.
