Favourite Mexican Wedding Cakes - Pecan Cookie Balls!
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups flour
- 2 cups finely chopped pecans
- To Finish
- 2 cups confectioners' sugar (you may need a touch extra too!)
- Preheat oven to 350u0b0F Beat butter in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy. Add the confectioners sugar, vanilla, nutmeg and salt; beat until well blended. Stir in flour and pecans.
- Shape into 1-inch balls. Place 1 inch apart on ungreased baking sheets.
- Bake 15 minutes. Remove from baking sheets. Immediately roll hot cookies in the confectioners sugar. Place sugared cookies on wire racks to cool.
- When cool, roll again in sugar at least once but I like to do it twice for a better finish.
