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.

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.
