Mexican Wedding Cookies

Ingredients

• •1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• •1/2 cup powdered sugar
• •1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• •2 cups all-purpose flour
• •1 cup finely chopped pecans or walnuts
• •1/4 teaspoon salt
• •1 cup powdered sugar for rolling

Directions

1. 1Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. 2Cream together softened butter and 1/2 cup powdered sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
3. 3Mix in vanilla extract, then stir in flour, nuts, and salt until combined.
4. 4Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place on baking sheets.
5. 5Bake for 12-15 minutes until cookies are light golden brown.
6. 6Cool for 5 minutes, then roll warm cookies in powdered sugar until fully coated.
7. 7Cool completely and roll again in powdered sugar for extra coating before serving.

💡 Toast the nuts before folding them into Mexican wedding cookie dough; their flavour needs to carry through a very simple butter-and-sugar base.
