It's time for holiday baking and I thought I would share one of my favorite recipes.
Mexican Wedding Cakes--yummy!
(a.k.a. Russian Tea Cakes)
1 cup powdered sugar
2 cups of butter, softened
2 tsp. vanilla
4 1/2 cups flour
1 cup of finely chopped nuts ( I use pecans or walnuts)
1/2 tsp. salt
Mix together powdered sugar, butter and vanilla.
Stir in flour, nuts and salt until dough holds together.
Shape dough into 1 inch balls.
Bake on an ungreased cookie sheet for 10-12 minutes at 400 degrees.
Roll cookies in powdered sugar while warm.
Cool completely on wire rack (about 30 minutes).
Once the cookies are cool, roll them in powdered sugar again.
This recipe makes about 6 dozen cookies so you can easily cut the recipe in half for a smaller batch.

These are some of my fave cookies ever. I just really have to watch and not inhale to soon, or a choke/cough fest ensues what with the powder sugar 'n all!
That is so awesome! I just blogged about these cookies too - no recipe though - but I am telling you, these cookies are the trendiest right now. But the best part is that they seem really yummy!

These are some of my favorite cookies, but I have always bought them instead of making them. Maybe I will try this soon!

Oh cool! I made some a week or so ago but mine flatten out and then I just dust it with the powdered sugar. Oh, now I remember, mine use white cake mix in them. So many versions out there :)
