These cookies are commonly referred to as Mexican Wedding Cookies; their taste is similar to a sand tart cookie. This cookie can also be used to create unique Easter cookies, all the colors of Easter Eggs. See below for instructions.
Ingredients
- 1 cup softened butter
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 2 cups flour
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- Powdered sugar for powdering cookies
Directions
Step 1
In a medium glass bowl, use a hand mixer to cream the softened butter and sugar until creamy. Add the salt and vanilla.
Step 2
Gradually add the flour and mix well. At this point, you may have to use your hands to manipulate the dough. Mix in the chopped pecans.
Step 3
Roll into balls about the size of a quarter and place on an ungreased cookie sheet (you may press down the cookie some or leave as a ball to bake). Bake 10 to 12 minutes in a 350 degree oven or until light golden brown. Do not overbake. Set aside to cool.
Step 4
Roll the cookie in powdered sugar, coating completely. Store in an airtight container.
