Steps:
- In a large bowl, cream the butter and 1/3 cup confectioner's sugar until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour, ground pecans, 1/2 cup ground chocolate, cinnamon and salt; mix well.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture.
- Wrap dough in plastic wrap and chill 1 to 2 hours, or until firm.
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (180 degrees C).
- Shape the dough into 1-inch balls. Place balls 1 inch apart on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake 15 to 18 minutes, or until the cookies are firm to the touch. Cool 1 minute on the baking sheet, then transfer to a wire rack.
- For the coating, sift 1/2 cup of the confectioner's sugar and 1/4 cup of the ground cocoa into a shallow bowl. While cookies are still warm, roll them in the coating.

[email protected]I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cookies turned out really flat. They still tasted good, but they didn't look as pretty as the ones in the picture.

[email protected]These cookies were a disappointment. They were too crumbly and didn't have much flavor. I won't be making them again.

[email protected]Not bad! I thought the cookies were a little dry, but my husband really liked them. I might try adding some more butter next time to see if that helps.

[email protected]I'm not a huge fan of Mexican wedding cakes, but these cookies were surprisingly good! They're light and crispy, with just the right amount of sweetness. I could definitely see myself making these again.

[email protected]These cookies were an easy but delicious treat! My family loved them and said they tasted like a cross between a snickerdoodle and a shortbread cookie. I'd definitely make them again for a quick and yummy snack.
