Mexican Wedding Cookies

A month or so ago, we were invited to dinner  at someone's house.  Finally last week I took them a thank-you- chips and homemade salsa and a Mud Pie spoon.  The other day, Barb, returned my bowl (it was not to be returned) filled with Mexican Wedding Cookies!  We keep thanking back and forth.  Now I have to think of something to put back in the bowl to thank her!!!!

I had forgotten how much I like these cookies!


Mexican Wedding Cookies


1 cup of softened butter
1/2 cup of powdered sugar
1 teaspoon of vanilla
2 cups of flour
1 cup finely chopped pecans
1/4-1/2 cup extra powdered sugar for rolling cookies

Directions: (Preheat oven to 350 degrees)
Cream butter, 1/2 cup powdered sugar, vanilla together until fluffy.  Add the flour slowly and when all combined add the finely chopped pecans.  Roll the dough into walnut-sized balls and bake for 12-14 minutes until the bottoms are lightly golden brown.  Cool on a rack for several minutes and then roll the cooked cookies into the extra 1/4-1/2 cup powdered sugar.
