The girls had a cookie exchange today with our new home school group. Every Christmas we try and make these cookies. You need very few ingredients and they practically melt in your mouth. But don't take my word for it ... you'll just have to try it out yourself.
So, consider this recipe my little Christmas gift to you =)
Traditional Mexican Wedding Cookies Recipe
Makes 36 cookies
* 1 cup butter, softened
* 1/2 cup powdered sugar
* 1 teaspoon vanilla
* 2 1/4 cups sifted flour
* 1/4 teaspoon salt
* 3/4 cup chopped pecans
* powdered sugar (for rolling baked cookies in)
Cream together butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy; stir in vanilla.
Whisk together flour and salt; add gradually to butter mixture; stir in chopped nuts.
Chill dough if it seems too soft.
Form dough into 1" balls and place onto parchment-lined or ungreased baking sheets.
Bake at 400° for 10-12 minutes or just until the cookies start to turn light golden-brown; remove from oven and allow to cool slightly; while cookies are still warm (but NOT hot) remove them from baking sheets and roll, a few at a time, in powdered sugar until evenly coated; then let them cool - and try not to eat them all at once =)
Enjoy!
