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…)
Can i use margarine?

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

Andrea says
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.
