Photo: Mexican Wedding Cookies Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar, plus more for coating baked cookies
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting hands
- 1 cup pecans, chopped into very small pieces
Directions
Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper.
Using an electric mixer, cream the butter and sugar at low speed until it is smooth. Beat in the vanilla. At low speed gradually add the flour. Mix in the pecans with a spatula. With floured hands, take out about 1 tablespoon of dough and shape into a crescent. Continue to dust hands with flour as you make more cookies. Place onto prepared cookie sheets. Bake for 40 minutes. When cool enough to handle but still warm, roll in additional confectioners' sugar. Cool on wire racks.

I added black walnuts with my recipe, could have made them a little smaller because mine did not make 2 1/2 dozen. Extremely easy!

These cookies are delicious. I made them and took them to work. Everybody thought they were store bought because they were so beautiful and I had put them in nice canister. They ate them so fast that I was glad I had put some aside for myself at home. These cookies are a home run.
