Thanks Wendy – must try
I have a recipe that I love and they are delicious but I only make them sparingly because my recipe is extremely tedious. Your way is definitely so much easier. I am going to try your recipe and hope for the best. I will let you know the outcome. 😬
Yummy yummy 😋
Woww such a beautiful recipe ❤Wendy ❤ can't wait to try these 😊 can I substitute pecans for almonds or cashew?
Oh my yummy! 😋
I've been making these cookies for decades as the favorite Christmas cookie in our family. My recipe is pretty much the same but I have a couple of differences in how I do them. First, I do use my mixer to ensure I beat the butter with the vanilla and sugar until light and fluffy. I mix the flour and salt next until fully incorporated but not over worked, then stir in the chopped nuts just until they are mixed throughout the dough. I use a cookie scoop to form the cookies, but avoid packing them tight – I used to roll them by hand, but found they came out too dense, not light. I started getting best results when I avoided over handling the dough. My mom made these every year when I was a girl, and to me these cookies are what Christmas tastes like
Looks delicious.. can’t wait to make them. Thank you for sharing ❤
I call these by the name Mexican Wedding cakes.I substitute walnuts ( toasted)& they just melt in the mouth, a favourite on my Christmas tray for years.Anyways a variation with pecans will be nice too.
Would it be good enough to do the balls with almonds?
Awesome Wendy!
I have been following your recipes and the ones I have tried are all a bit with my family. Thank you 😊
Request you suggest an alternative for Pecan as it's not easily available in India. Thanks
