Ingredients

1 pound soft unsalted butter
1 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons vanilla
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups finely chopped pecans
5 cups sifted pastry flour
Powdered sugar for dusting

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Beat butter and powdered sugar in mixer until light and fluffy, about 1015 minutes. Add vanilla, salt and pecans. Remove from mixer and stir in pastry flour by hand being careful not to overmix. Form into football shapes about the size of small walnuts and place on a buttered cookie sheet. Bake 1012 minutes or until just beginning to get the slightest bit colored on the bottom. Remove upon the first sign of color and set on a rack to cool. When cool enough to touch place in a bowl with powdered sugar on top and bottom and toss gently. Occasionally toss with sugar while cooling, trying to get as much sugar as possible to stick. When cold, place cookies in airtight container and cover until ready to serve.

Absolutely Delicious and Easy
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I had been looking for a good Mexican wedding cookie recipe for a long time but could not find one that tasted as good as the... ones at a local bakery. Then I ran across this recipe. I noticed that it had a 5 star rating so I decided to give it a try. OMG!!! These are so easy to make and they are absolutely delicious! I made 1/2 a batch with pecans and 1/2 a batch with toasted almonds. I could not find pastry flour so I used all purpose and it was just fine. I'm making another two batches tomorrow to take to a Cinco de Mayo celebration.Read more
