These have a light and delicate texture! My family has been using this recipe for 20 years. We make them often during the Christmas season. This is the Mexican style version with pecan nuts. I heard this cookie is given to guests as gifts at Mexican weddings. The name for "snowball cookies" vary depending on the type of nut used. If pecans are used, it's Mexican, and if it's almonds, it's Russian. With walnuts, and with pistachios ... Sorry, I forgot all the names!I use the food processor to chop the nuts. I use my hands to combine the flour with the chopped nuts to prevent lumps. If it is difficult to roll the dough into balls, squeezing them tightly may work. I use whatever nuts are available at home: pecans, walnuts, almonds, etc. There are also recipes with hazelnuts and pistachio. Make delicious cookies with your favorite nuts. I used a US measuring cup (1 cup = 240 ml). Recipe by Mama Imani.

Warning these cookies are highly addictive and will disappear fast.

My aunt Connie always brought this cake to the family gatherings. I craved it.... So she finally gave me the recipe. So magically delicious!

November 1st marks MY start of the holiday season. We start with Thanksgiving, then Christmas, and end with New Years. This is a treat I usually only make at the holidays. I live for this season!! Here’s my kick off!🎄🍪

The pastry chef at my job made these cookies and I thought they were delicious so I wanted to share the recipe

So easy to make! Melt in your mouth goodness :-)

So yummy :CookieReminds me of being a kid

my favorite dish

Kinda my version of Albondigas. I prefer my meatballs cooked before adding them to hot broth and I use leftover Spanish rice instead of potatoes. This soup has a delicate Mexican flavor that is soooo good with avocado slices. A family pleaser that is tasty, cultural and light. Enjoy 😘
