recipe for holiday entertaining

[Guest guest]

This recipe is not very, very quick but rather easy to make and give

as gifts to people (so faster than shopping for people, wrapping the

gifts, etc

 

 

 

Mexican Wedding Cookies - Rich cookies traditionally served at

weddings and other festive occasions.

 

Oven at 350 degrees

 

1 cup butter

½ cup powdered sugar, sifted

1 tsp Mexican vanilla (regular vanilla extract can be used)

1 ½ cups flour, sifted

½ cup soy flour, sifted

1/4 tsp salt

1 cup pecans, finely chopped

powdered sugar to decorate

 

Cream butter, ½ cup powdered sugar and vanilla. Add flours, salt and

nuts and blend thoroughly.

Shape the mixture into two long rolls - about 1 ½ " in diameter. Wrap

each roll in waxed paper and refrigerate for 5 hours or overnight.

Unwrap each roll and cut into 1/4 " slices. Bake on an ungreased baking

sheet (space 1/4 " apart) for 15 - 20 minutes, or until the cookies are

lightly browned.

Remove from the cookie sheet and roll in the powdered sugar - do not

let cool or the sugar will not adhere to the cookie.

Makes approx. 50 cookies

 

Happy Holidays,

Catherine
