Mexican Wedding Cookies Recipe

Mexican Wedding Cookies, also known as Snowball Cookies, are delicate, buttery cookies with a melt-in-your-mouth texture. These cookies are a delightful treat for special occasions or any time you crave a sweet indulgence.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup butter, softened
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup finely chopped pecans or walnuts
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• Additional powdered sugar, for coating

Instructions:

Prepare the oven by heating it up to 325F 165C

Melt the butter and mix it with the powdered sugar in a large bowl until the mixture is light and fluffy

Add the vanilla extract and mix well

Add the flour and salt to the butter mixture slowly while mixing it all together

Add the chopped pecans or walnuts and mix them in well

Making the dough into 1-inch balls, put them on a baking sheet that hasn't been greased

The cookies should be baked in a hot oven for 15 to 18 minutes, or until they are set but not browned

Take the cookies out of the oven and leave them on the baking sheet to cool for a while

Roll the cookies in more powdered sugar to cover them completely while they are still warm

Set the cookies on a wire rack to cool all the way down

After the cookies have cooled all the way, coat them one last time with powdered sugar

Keep the Mexican wedding cookies in a container that won't let air in
