wedding cookies

At Italian weddings, there is often a sweets table in addition to the cake, laden with cookies and other treats for the guests. It’s a tradition that works just as well for a holiday party, and front and center on your table should be Giada’s Italian wedding cookies- they melt-in-your-mouth! A generous dusting of powdered sugar adds a snowy cap – perfect for the winter season!

Scoop 1 tablespoon sized mounds and roll them in your hands. Place onto a rimmed baking sheet, press down slightly and bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until just set but not brown. Cool slightly on the tray, about 10 minutes. Dust with powdered sugar before removing to a rack to cool completely.

These super-easy, melt in your mouth cookies made with lots of almond meal and rolled in powdered sugar are a global favorite! Almost every culture has a variation and all are delicious!

Aliases include: Mexican wedding cookies, or polvorones, kourabiedes in Greece, Russian tea cakes, snowball cookies in parts of America, boomeranng cookies, and the list goes on! So delicious and they whip up in a snap. The cookies themselves are not very sweet so that heavy dusting of powdered sugar and just the right amount of sweetness.

I used almond meal in these cookies but you can use ground walnuts, or pecans and definitely feel free to have some larger chunks in there too.

Wedding cookies with classic Mexican flavors of lime and coconut make for a delicious, shortbread-like treat that's brimming with flavors.

Coconut-Lime Mexican Wedding Cookies Recipe

all purpose flour

confectioners' sugar

coconut

unsalted butter

lime zest

tsp vanilla extract

Step 1.1

In the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade, combine the flour, salt, confectioners' sugar, pecans and coconut. Process until the pecans and coconut are finely ground, and the mixture looks like sand. Add the butter, lime zest, and vanilla extract; process until the mixture comes together into a cohesive dough. Remove the dough from the bowl and wrap in plastic. Chill until firm enough to roll, 45 minutes to 1 hour.

Step 1.2

Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 1.3

Measure the dough into heaping teaspoon-size pieces and roll each piece into a ball. Place the balls about 1-1/2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Bake until the edges of the cookies barely begin to brown, 12 to 14 minutes. Let the cookies cool for a few minutes on the baking sheets, then roll in the confectioners' sugar while still warm. Let the cookies cool on a rack, then roll again in confectioners' sugar once they are cool. Store in an airtight container at room temperature. To serve, arrange the cookies on a platter and use a fine sieve to dust with more confectioners' sugar, if desired.

Step 1.4

Freezer-Friendly Instructions: The Cookie Dough can be Frozen for up to 3 Months: Roll the dough into balls, let set on a baking sheet in the freezer, then place in a sealable bag and press out as much air as possible. Bake as needed directly from the freezer. (Allow 1 to 2 minutes longer in the oven.) To Freeze After Baking: Let the cookies cool completely and store in an airtight container separating layers with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Before serving, remove the cookies from the container and let them come to room temperature.

These soft coconut lime cookies have the perfect balance of flavor and texture. Using 1/4 cup of lime juice, a little coconut extract, and plenty of sweetened shredded coconut, the cookies are flavorful with just enough spread. Roll the dough balls in granulated sugar before baking, then finish the cookies with tangy lime glaze.

Coconut Lime Cookies | Sally's Baking

Mexican wedding cookies are buttery and rich, with a sandy melt-in-your-mouth texture a bit like classic shortbread. With orange and almond.

all-purpose flour

cardamom

orange

butter (soft)

orange blossom water

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180ºC) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, almond flour, cardamom, salt, and orange zest. Set aside.

Add the softened butter to a mixing bowl. Sift in 1 cup (120 grams) of powdered sugar.

Using a hand or stand mixer, mix the butter and sugar together on medium-high speed until pale and fluffy, about 1 minute.

Add the orange blossom water and almond extract and mix to combine.

Add half of the flour mixture to the butter. Mix on low until all of the flour is mixed in.

Add the rest of the flour and continue to mix until no bits of dry flour remain. The dough will look very crumbly, but should be soft and stick together when squeezed between your hands.

Roll the dough into small balls, approximately 2 tablespoons (28 grams) each, and arrange them on the baking sheets about 1-inch (3-mm) apart.

Bake the cookies for 16 to 18 minutes, rotating the sheets halfway through, or until the bottoms of the cookies are golden.

Remove the cookies from the oven and cool them on wire racks for 5 minutes.

While the cookies are cooling sift the remaining cup (120 grams) of powdered sugar onto a baking sheet or into a bowl.

Roll the still-warm cookies in the powdered sugar. This first coating will melt into a light glaze on the cookies.

Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack, then sprinkle or roll with a second coating of powdered sugar.
