List of Ingredients



• 1 cup butter, softened
  
• 2 cups sugar
  
• 2 large eggs
  
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
  
• 4 cups all-purpose flour
  
• 1 (10-ounce) package cinnamon chips
  
• 1 cup chopped pecans, toasted
  






Instructions



1. Beat butter at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy. Gradually add sugar, beating well. Add eggs and vanilla, beating until blended. Gradually add flour, beating at low speed just until blended. Stir in cinnamon chips and pecans. Divide dough into three (2-cup) portions; roll each into a 12-inch log. Wrap logs in wax paper. Chill 8 hours, or freeze in an airtight container up to 3 months.
   
   
2. Cut each log into 24 (½-inch-thick) slices, and place slices on ungreased baking sheets.
   
   
3. Bake at 350° for 13 to 15 minutes, or until edges are lightly browned. Cool on baking sheets 5 minutes. Remove cookies to wire racks to cool completely.
   
   Makes 6 dozen.
