This is my variation of the popular Mexican Wedding Cookie. My sister Robyn makes these every year, and we can never get enough. So I had to have the recipe to make more. Ingredients:
1 cup butter |
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar, sifted |
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon |
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour |
1/2 cup walnuts, finely chopped in food processor |
Directions:
1. Cream butter with the 1/4 cup of sugar and blend well.
2. Combine flour and cinnamon.
3. Add flour mixed with cinnamon (a bit at a time) and mix well. Add extract and stir in nuts.
4. Shape teaspoonfuls of dough into crescent shapes and bake on an ungreased cookie sheet at 325°F for 18-20 minutes. Let cookies cool for about 5 minutes and then coat well with powdered sugar.
5. Variation: roll dough into 1-inch balls and bake (same as above). When cookies are cool, GENTLY roll in confectioners' sugar until coated well.
