Mexican Wedding cookies

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.

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

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!🎄🍪

This is an old recipe and I'm sharing because they are absolutely delicious!

Crunchy, sweet and nutty.

A perfect gift to share with others, or as a gift to yourself on the holidays! And unlike other recipes, this is not overly sweet, but it has just enough sweetness to satisfy your tastebuds. Easy, fast and delicious!#mycookbook

I am not sure where I got the recipe for these cookies, but have been making them at Christmas for over 40 years. They melt in your mouth! You can use any kind of nuts, but pecans are my favourite.
