Mexican Wedding Cookies

If you are looking for a super easy cookie to make, look no further. The Mexican wedding cookie is easy to make and easy to eat. I have seen variations of these cookies with nuts or with other flavors. But Mom always made these basic cookies as is.

Mom made these cookies often when we were young. I vaguely remember bringing these to school for a bake sale or class treat. These cookies can be for a special occasion or just an average day. Recently, I made the cookies for a Saturday at Mom's when she had the grandkids over for dinner, and the cookies were a hit for dessert.

Mexican Wedding Cookies 

• 1 cup butter, softened
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar, plus more for dusting
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• 1/4 tsp. salt
• 2 cups flour

Cream the butter, 1/2 cup powdered sugar, vanilla and salt until fluffy. Stir in flour until well-blended. Chill for about 30 minutes until dough is firm enough to handle. Shape into one-inch balls. Place one inch apart on ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 365 for 12 to 15 minutes. While warm, dust cookies with powdered sugar. Cool thoroughly. Enjoy.
