Pastelitos de Boda (Bride's Cookies) image

The name of this recipe means 'bride's cookies' and they are traditionally served at Mexican weddings. These cookies are crumbly pecan cookies, but you can make variations with other nuts or cinnamon if you wish. I personally like making them with almonds.
