Categories     Cookies     Bake     Wedding     Spring     Butter

Yield makes about 45 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup (8 ounces/225 g) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup (100 g) granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/4 cups (315 g) all-purpose flour
Big pinch of salt
1 teaspoon water
1 cup (100 g) pecans, toasted and finely chopped
Powdered sugar, for coating the cookies

Steps:

  • Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven; preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  • In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or in a bowl by hand), beat together the butter, granulated sugar, and vanilla on medium speed just until smooth. Stir in half of the flour and the salt, then add the water. Mix in the remaining flour and the chopped pecans.
  • Using your hands, form the dough into 1-inch (3-cm) balls and place them about 1 inch (3 cm) apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  • Bake, rotating the baking sheets midway through baking, until the cookies feel almost, but not quite, firm, about 15 minutes. Let cool completely on the baking sheets.
  • Sift some powdered sugar into a bowl. Toss the cooled cookies a few at a time in the sugar until completely coated with a thick layer (there is relatively little sugar in the cookie dough, so be generous when coating them).
  • Storage
  • The dough can be frozen for up to 1 month. Store the baked and sugar-coated cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

I'm not a huge fan of Mexican wedding cookies, but I have to say, these are pretty darn good. They are light and airy, and the flavor is just right. I especially love the way the powdered sugar melts in my mouth.
