Mexican Wedding Cookies Recipe

Mexican Wedding Cookies (Sometimes called Mexican Wedding Cakes)

One of my favorite cookies is the Mexican wedding cookie.

They are sweet, crisp, buttery, and melt in your mouth.

I can't make these unless I have a place to take them, such as a covered dish dinner or a family get-together.

Charles and I would eat them all, then feel bad because we did.

 You can cover them completely with powdered sugar, or if you prefer, add a little cinnamon to the sugar before rolling the cookies in it.
