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-they're a sharp departure from the Iowa favorites I grew up with! I love introducing these to relatives and friends! -Terri Lins, San Diego, California

ITALIAN BRIDE'S PECAN COOKIES (PASTELITOS DE BODA)



Italian Bride's Pecan Cookies (Pastelitos De Boda) image

This is a pecan, crumbly, melt-in-your-mouth, cookie, that's perfect in the winter season, as the powdered sugar dusted on the cookies resembles snow. These are surprisingly quick and easy to make. This is an American twist on a classic Italian recipe, as it is made with pecans rather than the traditional almonds or hazelnuts. It's from Gourmet Magazine (Nov. 1986) and is currently featured as one of "Gourmet's Favorite Cookies: 1941-2008".

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups all-purpose flour
½ cup confectioners' sugar
1 cup butter, softened
1 pinch salt
1 cup chopped pecans
1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven 350 degrees F (150 degrees C).
  • Mix the flour, sugar, salt, and nuts together in a medium bowl. Stir in the vanilla. Either with your hands (my favorite way) or with a pastry cutter, work the butter into the flour mixture until it becomes a ball. Shape the dough into 24 one inch flat circles, and place on a cookie sheet.
  • Bake for 30 minutes or until they are lightly browned. After they have cooled on a rack, dust them heavily with confectioners' sugar.

Tips:

  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough helps to prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven and also gives them a more tender texture.
  • Use a cookie scoop: Using a cookie scoop to portion out the dough helps to ensure that the cookies are all the same size and shape.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set: The cookies should be slightly golden brown around the edges but still soft in the center.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before frosting: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
  • Be creative with your frosting: You can use any type of frosting you like to decorate the cookies. Try different colors, flavors, and decorations to create unique and festive treats.

Conclusion:

Pastelitos de Boda, also known as Brides' Cookies, are a delicious and festive treat that is perfect for any wedding celebration.
