Oh no! I start classes tomorrow! I have so much to do and already got assigned 2 chapters for one of my textbooks and some videos! I decided to post one last blog before my life gets hectic (as if it already wasn't!) It'll be short and sweet!
Here's another recipe from the wedding I catered. It's Mexican wedding cookies, or snowballs, or Russian tea cakes!
They're really delicious! It contains pecans which gives it a great flavor. Make sure to roll it in the powder sugar twice so they look like snowballs! :D
Recipe from Allrecipes.
Mexican Wedding Cookies (Snowballs)
Yields 5 dozen
Ingredients:
1 cup butter
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup chopped pecans
1/3 cup confectioners' sugar for decoration
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Cream the butter with 1/2 cup of the confectioners' sugar and the vanilla. Mix in the flour, nuts and salt. Roll about 1 tablespoon or so of dough into balls and place on an ungreased cookie sheet.
- Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 15 minutes. Do not allow these cookies to get too brown. It's better to undercook them than to overcook them.
- While cookies are still hot roll them in confectioners' sugar. Once they have cooled roll them in confectioners' sugar once more.
