Patty’s Mexican Wedding Cakes
Category: Cookies, Sweet Stuff
PATTY’S MEXICAN WEDDING CAKES: Preheat oven to 400. Mix 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter, 1/2 cup powdered sugar, 1/2 tsp salt, 1 tsp vanilla. Mix until well blended. Add 1 cup finely chopped pecans. Mix until well blended. Add 2 cups flour, if batter is still not stiff enough to make balls, add another 1/4 cup flour. Spray cookie sheet. Roll into balls and then flatten. Bake for 10-12 minutes. Immediately after removing from oven, place cookies into a bowl of powdered sugar and flip over to coat both sides. Place on a napkin and cool completely. Makes 2 dozen. This recipe was given to me from my stepmother Patty. She is a wonderful cook and taught me a lot as a child about cooking. Thanks Patty.
