Mexican Wedding Cookies Recipe -- How to Make Mexican Wedding Cookies with Pecans
Hey Chile-Heads, and Happy Holidays! Today, I'm sharing with you a classic holiday recipe: Mexican Wedding Cookies with Pecans. Baking cookies during this season is one of my favorite activities, and these are my absolute favorite cookies to make. Using just a few key ingredients, they come together so easily and are sure to be a hit with your family and friends. Just a quick note on the video: When I added the butter, I added 2 cups, rather than the 1 cup in the stated in the video. This is because I doubled the recipe. Apologies for not making that clear in the video.
I hope you give them a try!

Mexican Wedding Cookies
Ingredients:
1 cup butter at room temperature, softened
½ cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 ¼ cup sifted flour
¼ teaspoon salt
¾ cup chopped pecans, you can also use walnuts
Directions:
Using a hand mixer cream together butter and powdered sugar until it is light and fluffy, then stir in vanilla. Whisk together the flour and salt. Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter and sugar mixture, then stir in chopped nuts. If the mix is too soft, chill in the refrigerator for a few minutes. Form dough into 1 inch balls and place onto parchment paper atop a baking sheet. Bake at 400 for 10 - 12 minutes, or until the cookies start to turn light golden brown. Allow them to cool slightly. They should be almost room temperature. Roll them in powdered sugar until completely, and evenly coated. Allow the cookies to cool completely. You may want to roll the cookies a second time once they have cooled to room temperature. Enjoy!

Mexican Wedding Cakes
Mexican wedding cakes, also known as Russian tea cakes, polvorones, snow balls, etc., are popular Christmas cookies and delicious any time of year. They traditionally use pecans, but can be made with walnuts or hazelnuts instead. For a deeper flavor, toast and cool the nuts before chopping.
Ingredients:
2 sticks/ 8 oz butter, softened
1/2 cup/ 58 g powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
2 1/4 cups/ 260 g all purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup/ 90 g finely chopped pecans
Additional powdered sugar for rolling cookies
Beat butter and sugar with electric mixer on medium low until combined, then continue to mix on medium until a bit lighter in color and texture, scraping down the bowl as needed. Add the vanilla and mix to combine. Add flour and salt and mix until thoroughly combined, scraping down the bowl as needed. Add chopped pecans and mix until all of the pecan pieces are incorporated into the dough. Scoop dough into tablespoon-sized balls and place on a lined cookie sheet. The cookies will not rise or spread, so they can be placed fairly close together. Bake at 400 degrees for 10-12 minutes, until cookies are set but not browned. While cookies bake, put about half a cup of powdered sugar into a medium bowl. While the cookies are still warm (as warm as you can handle them), gently toss a few cookies at a time in powdered sugar to coat all surfaces and place on a rack to cool completely. After all cookies have been coated you can sift a little more powdered sugar on top.
Yield: 48 tablespoon-sized cookies
Storage: 1 week in airtight container; dough can be refrigerated for two days or frozen for months
