Mexican Wedding Cookies

[*JillD*]

I haven't made these, but saw the recipe in this months edition of "All You". I thought they might be cute for favors since a lot of us are mexico brides!

 

1 stick unsalted butter, at room temp.

1/2 c. confectioners sugar

1 tsp. vanilla extract

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/8 tsp. salt

1/8 tsp. cinnamon

1 c. walnuts or pecans, lightly toasted and ground

 

1. Preheat oven to 350, line a baking sheet with parchment. Cream butter and 1/4 c. sugar until fluffy. Add vanilla, reduce speed and gradually add flour, salt, and cinnamon. Stir in nuts.

 

2. Roll dough into 1 inch balls and place 1 inch apart on a baking sheet. Bake for 12 minutes. Let cool on rack for 5 minutes.

 

3. Sift remaining sugar over warm cookies until well coated.

Yields 24 cookies

I thought the recipe reminded me of a xmas cookie we used to make, I can't remember the name, but I thought it might be cute for someones wedding.

mmmm .... these are one of my favorite cookies and we are using them as favors --- actually as little farewell treats for guests that are departing.

 

thanks for the recipe! i'll have to try it at home, but i don't think i'm brave enough to try and make them for my favors ...
