These were called Mexican Wedding Cakes in my family. I have since had the same cookies, but called Russian Wedding Cakes, or shapped differently and called Crescent Cookies. They're so popular everyone claims them as their own. MEXICAN WEDDING CAKES 1 cup soft butter 1 cup powdered sugar 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon vanilla 2 cups unbleached white flour 1 cup chopped Brazil nuts (or pecans) Powdered sugar Combine butter, sugar, salt and vanilla. Cream until light and fluffy. Mix in flour and nuts. Form into just under 1-inch balls and flatten slightly onto ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 400 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes, or until creamy tan in color. Roll in powdered sugar while still warm. Makes about 5 dozen rich crisp cookies. Bed and Breakfast Inns |
