Mexican Wedding Cookies Recipe

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.

Step 2

Beat butter and powdered sugar together until light and fluffy, about 30 seconds or so.

Step 3

Add in vanilla and almond extract, mixing until combined.

Step 4

Mix in salt, flour and pecans, until combined.

Step 5

Roll dough into 1” balls and place on the baking sheet about 1” apart (these cookies do not spread much).

Step 6

Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the bottoms of the cookies are very light brown (these can over bake quickly).

Step 7

Allow to cool about 5-6 minutes, or until they are still warm but cool enough to touch. Roll each in powdered sugar and allow to cool entirely on parchment paper. Re-roll in powdered sugar.

Step 8

Enjoy!
