In Mexico, these rich cookies are called Little Wedding Cakes and usually are served with hot chocolate. Since moving here close to Mexico from the Midwest, I've enjoyed trying authentic recipes Ingredients:
3/4 cup butter, softened |
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar |
2 teaspoons vanilla |
2 cups sifted king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1 cup finely chopped walnuts |
1/4 cup heavy whipping cream |
additional confectioners' sugar |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy; add vanilla. Combine the flour, salt and nuts; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well. Add cream; knead lightly.
2. Shape into a roll 2-1/2 in. in diameter. Wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for several hours or overnight.
3. Unwrap and cut into 1/4-in. slices. Place 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 375° for 15 minutes or until delicately browned around edges. Remove to wire rack. While warm, roll in additional confectioners' sugar. Yield: about 3 dozen.
