What would Christmas be without Mexican Wedding Cakes. Seriously, I think everyone makes them even though they're called so many different names....Russian Tea Cakes for example. These are the cookies Emilie was always assigned to make because everything else she made came out looking like hockey pucks so these were a good fit for her. I make these using the next to the smallest ice cream scoop. Make sure to cook them long enough to make them good and short. The dough will be quite dry. Don't powder them until they are totally cool or they will be a mess of goooooo.
1 cup butter
1/4c. Powdered sugar
1 tsp. Vanilla
2 cups flour
1 cup chopped nuts (pecans, which I prefer toasted first)
Blend together the sugar, butter and vanilla. Add the flour and nuts. Dough will be very crumbly. Form round balls and put on cookie sheet. Bake 350 degrees for about 12 – 15 minutes. Remove from oven and cool slightly; roll in powdered sugar.
