Also sometimes called 'Mexican wedding cookie', 'Russian tea cakes', or 'butterballs', can also be made into crescents. You can also substitute pecans and they are very good as well. This is the best version of these I have ever seen, it was given me by a friend who grew up in central Europe.

MEXICAN WEDDING COOKIES RECIPE - NYT COOKING



Mexican Wedding Cookies Recipe - NYT Cooking image

This recipe was brought to The Times in a 1990 article about traditional Christmas cookies, but we think these butter-rich confections are delicious any time of year. Sometimes called Mexican wedding cakes (or polvorones or Russian tea cakes or snowballs), their provenance is often debated, but this much is true: they are dead-simple to make and addictive to eat. This version is done completely in a food processor, so you can clean-up in minutes, and get to the important business at hand: eating cookies and licking your fingers.

Total Time 35 minutes

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 cup pecan halves
2 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
pinch of salt
1 cup unsalted butter
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • Put pecans, 1 cup of the sugar and salt in food processor and blend until nuts are ground fine. Cut the butter into tablespoon-size pieces and add it to nut mixture with processor running. Process until smooth. Add vanilla extract. Add flour and continue blending, using pulse mechanism of processor.

EASY SHORTBREAD COOKIES RECIPE | LEITE'S CULINARIA
2021-12-19 · I’ve given the method for regular round biscuits, shortbread fingers, and petticoat tails, where the biscuit is baked in a large round and cut into portions like a pie. In the 1990s, it was popular in tearooms to push glacé cherries into the shortbread dough to make cherry shortbread. Today it’s popular to add edible lavender, but when it comes to shortbread, I think simplicity wins.
