One of my all-time favorite cookies is the Mexican wedding cookie. I don't hear them called that in the Midwest but people do make them, however I don't know what they're called. I'm from the Southwest, and we call them Mexican Wedding cookies. I can still remember coming home from the bakery with my mom and dad with a bag of them. I used to think they were such a treat.
1/2 cup toasted nuts (hazelnuts, pecans or walnuts); ground finely but not a paste
2 cups flour
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 cup butter
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 cup of powdered sugar for decorating/rolling
Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
Using a mixer, cream butter and sugar until light. Add vanilla and flour until combined. Stir in nuts. Refrigerate for one hour.
Form dough into balls and place on cookie sheet. Cook for about 12 minutes. Cool on wire rack for about 5 minutes. Roll cookies carefully (a few of mine broke b/c they were either too warm) in the powdered sugar and enjoy.

Hi Risa,
Oh these cookies are so wonderful! I'm half Mexican myself and my Grandma would make these.

These look really good. I know you love them!
Hi Risa,
It was so nice to hear from you today! :)
I should have guessed you were Mexican/American as well. You look so much like all of my gorgeous cousins in Texas!
It's a good combo huh? :)
I have a few blog awards I plan to pass on to you later in the week. I'll let you know when I've posted them. In the meantime you can visit me anytime.
Have a great evening. ~Melissa :)
Oh, I do love these. I think I'll make some on my day off. It's cookie baking day on Tuesday.
Hugs, Terrie
Darn, those cookies look good. I have all the ingredients but the nuts..never fails.
I just noticed your Twilight thingy on the sidebar and got a laugh out of it..the one about your neck belongs to Edward. I just finished the first book...had to find out what everyone is talking about.
Thanks so much for introducing me to your blog. It's so pretty here! I like what you've done with the place!
And the music! I love it! ;)
Merry Christmas!! What a beautiful home you have. I am in love with the ribbon on the back of your bar stools! Also love your window treatments.. Thanks for visiting my sight.
