Serving Size: 1 cookie
Batch Size: 4 dozen cookies
The powdered sugar gives these cookies a wonderful melt-in-your-mouth texture. Walnuts or almonds are often used when making these cookies, which are also known as Mexican Wedding Cakes. Try toasting the nuts very lightly for a more pronounced flavor.


   1 cup margarine or butter, softened
   1/2 cup powdered sugar
   1 teaspoon vanilla extract
   2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
   3/4 cup finely chopped nuts
   1/4 teaspoon salt
   Powdered sugar


1. Heat oven to 400°.

2. Mix margarine, 1/2 cup powdered sugar and the vanilla in large bowl. Stir in flour, nuts and salt until dough holds together.

3. Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Place about 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheet.

4. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until set but not brown. Remove from cookie sheet. Cool slightly on wire rack.

5. Roll warm cookies in powdered sugar; cool on wire rack. Roll in powdered sugar again.
