Maple Pecan Tea Cookies
Maple Pecan Tea Cookies are infused with maple extract and loads of chopped pecans. Crescent shaped or in ball form, these cookies have just a touch of sweetness with a light + buttery texture just like a traditional tea cookie should be! Dusted with powdered sugar, these cookies always get a spot on the holiday cookie tray. So easy to make and can be made ahead of time which makes them ideal for cookie exchanges too.
