Christmas Cookies: Mexican Wedding Cakes
Friends, it’s that time of the year.
Yes, clementines are here. But I’m talking about Cookie Time. There are so many possibilities and we all have our favorites. But I’ll start with the most simple cookie. They go by so many names: mexican wedding cakes, russian tea cakes, snowballs. It doesn’t matter what you call them, they are addictive.
Ingredients:
1 pound butter (yes, that’s right…one whole pound;4 sticks)
1 cup powdered sugar (plus extra for rolling)
4 cups flour
3/4 cup chopped pecans (when no one’s looking, I use a lot more)
1 Tablespoon vanilla
Enjoy! Hope you have some cold, fresh milk in the fridge.

Butter and sugar and pecans–no wonder I love these so much!
I’m so glad to see you blogging again! I made these yesterday–they’re so good. I’m about to have some for breakfast.
