Cookie recipe help please!!

[WiseOwlKnits]

Anyone have a knock-your-sock-off recipe for Mexican Wedding Cookies (aka Russian Wedding Cookies and Snowballs)? I'd really like to make them, but I don't have a recipe and I don't want to just pick one off the net. If I'm going to make them, I want them to be good! :D

Are you talking about Russian Tea Cakes?

 

Here's my recipe:

 

1 C softened butter

1/2 C powdered sugar

1 tsp vanilla

1/4 tsp salt

 

In large bowl, combine at low speed about 1 min. Blend well.

 

2 1/4 C flour

 

Gradually add flour at low speed.

 

3/4 C finely chopped nuts (I prefer pecans but you can use any kind)

 

Stir into dough.

 

Chill dough.

Roll into 1 in. balls and bake at 350* 8-10 min, firm to touch but not brown.

Roll in powdered sugar.

Makes 4 dozen

I use the same recipe Alenee does, but this year I added 2T of butter to each batch so the dough wouldn't be so crumbly. The cookies have the same taste and texture, but are easier to roll into smooth balls.

 

I make each ball from a level 1.5 T of dough.

 

I roll them in powdered sugar while they are hot from the oven. After they cool, I roll them in powdered sugar again.

We just made these and they were so good! And they tasted even better after the first day.

I made this same recipe, but with ground pecans instead of almonds. They go well with coffee :D
