Finally, the recipe I remember as a child. These are perfect. I use only 1/2-3/4 cup pecans, but that's just preference. Get those nuts really smashed. Too big and the cookies can fall apart. Important to cream the butter and sugar together first. Texture is better that way. I also cook at 350 for 20-25 minutes. Comes out exactly the same, in less time. An absolute holiday favorite by everyone...young and old kids alike. Thanks so much Paula!

Mexican Wedding cookies are so good! First Time ate any,could not stop.Powder of Confectioner's Sugar all down front of Clothes. Try making these in miniature size and they go further/farther?Any word{s} used,delicious .Minced Pecans,Butter and bind with other goodness is Simple and Very Good.Yes,available in Grocers,yet why purchase if can make at Home and Know what You put into these Lovely "Bites".I use a "bench" scraper to cut into smaller bites as I was shown.not as Sweet looking in Crescents,yet last longer tiny sized.No other Recipe is required as noted by viewing others.This Is The Recipe.

These are a bit hit with everyone. I used almonds the 2nd time and they were even raved by non-almond lovers. You can't eat just one! This recipe is definitely a keeper.

Thank u Paula for another great recipe that's "outta this world!" I love these cookies, and they made the house smell great too.
The only thing I changed was using salted butter, and baked them for only 20 mins. They came out perfect.

I used almond extract instead of vanilla. This took it from yummy to OMG!! and instead of making crescents I left them as a disc so they were more cemetrical in the display.
