Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). (5 minutes)

02

Step
2 mins

In a small bowl, combine sugar and cinnamon. Set aside. (2 minutes)

03

Step
3 mins

In another small bowl, whisk egg whites and water until lightly frothy. Set aside. (3 minutes)

04

Step
5 mins

In a large bowl, cream together softened butter, egg yolks, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined. (5 minutes)

05

Step
5 mins

Gradually blend in the French vanilla cake mix, mixing at low speed with an electric mixer until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. (5 minutes)

06

Step
2 mins

Roll 1 rounded teaspoon of dough into a ball. (2 minutes)

07

Step
3 mins

Dip half of the ball into the egg white mixture, then immediately into the cinnamon-sugar mixture, ensuring it's well coated. (3 minutes)

08

Step
5 mins

Place the ball, sugar side up, on an ungreased baking sheet. Gently press a toasted almond or pecan on top of each cookie. (5 minutes)

09

Step
10 mins

Repeat with the remaining dough, placing the balls approximately 2 inches apart on the baking sheet. (10 minutes)

10

Step
12 mins

Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 9 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. (12 minutes)

11

Step
2 mins

Cool the cookies on the baking sheets for 2 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. (2 minutes)

12

Step

Store in an airtight container to maintain their delightful texture and flavor.

For a richer flavor, brown the butter before creaming it with the other wet ingredients. Be sure to let it cool slightly before adding the egg yolks.
Toasting the nuts before pressing them into the cookies enhances their flavor and adds a delightful crunch.
If the dough becomes too soft to handle, chill it in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes before rolling into balls.

    I used walnuts instead of pecans and they were fantastic! The cinnamon sugar coating is the best part.

  • Bernice Johnston

    My dough was a little sticky, but chilling it really helped. They came out perfectly!
