Mexican Wedding Cake Cookies
One of my favorite christmas cookie recipes my family made was Mexican wedding cakes These white, powedered sugar covered, balls melt in your mouth! I love that snowball cookies have a rich buttery taste with a hint of peanuts to balance out the sugar. Plus these mexican wedding cake cookies are quick and easy to make!

Servings 3 dozen
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar plus extra for rolling the cookies in
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts I use Peanuts
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 F. In a bowl mix powdered sugar, softened butter, and vanilla extract thoroughly until creamy. Now add all purpose flour, salt, and chopped nuts until well combined. Optional: chill the dough for about 30 minutes.
- Roll the dough in small 1” balls and place on an ungreased sheet. I like toput parchment paper down first to make clean-up a breeze.NOTE: These cookies will not spread.
- Bake 10 minutes or just until set. While they are still warm, roll the cookies in extra powdered sugar.
