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!

Italian Wedding Cookies

unsalted butter,

sugar

almond extract

salt

egg (at room temperature)

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

In a standing mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, combine the butter and powdered sugar. Beat on medium speed until pale, light and fluffy. Add the almond extract, salt and egg. Beat again for 1 minute. Add the flour and almond flour and mix on low until just combined.

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.

Coated in a fluffy layer of powdered sugar, these easy Mexican Wedding Cookies are so buttery and soft. They&#039;ll practically melt in your mouth!

sugar (divided (180 grams))

vanilla extract

all-purpose flour ((210 grams))

pecans

Preheat the oven to 350F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat together the butter, ½ cup confectioners’ sugar, and salt on medium speed until pale and fluffy, about 2 to 3 minutes. Beat in the vanilla until just combined.

With the mixer on low, gradually add the flour, beating until well combined. Beat in the pecans until combined. Scoop the dough by tablespoonfuls and roll into balls between your palms. Place 1-inch apart on the baking sheets.

Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until the tops are set and the bottoms are golden brown. Let the cookies cool on the pans for 5 minutes.

In a medium bowl, place the remaining 1 cup confectioners’ sugar. Working in batches, roll the warm cookies in the sugar, shaking off excess. Place a wire rack, and cool completely. Reroll cooled cookies in confectioners’ sugar again. Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.

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.
