The Secret Ingredient
The key to making the perfect Mexican wedding cakes lies in the quality of the ingredients used. While the basic recipe calls for just a few simple ingredients, it's important to use fresh and high-quality nuts and butter to achieve the best flavor and texture. Many bakers recommend using pecans or walnuts for their rich, nutty taste. And when it comes to butter, opt for unsalted butter to control the saltiness of the cookies.
How to Make Mexican Wedding Cakes
To start, you'll need to cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Then, gradually add in flour, ground nuts, and vanilla extract until a dough forms. The dough should be soft and pliable, but not too sticky. If it's too sticky, add a bit more flour. Once the dough is formed, roll it into small balls and place them on a baking sheet. Bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
The Finishing Touch
Once the cookies are cooled, it's time to add the final touch- a generous dusting of powdered sugar. This not only adds a beautiful snowy appearance, but also adds a touch of sweetness to balance out the nutty flavors. You can also experiment with adding other flavorful toppings such as cinnamon or cocoa powder for a unique twist on the classic recipe.
Overall, Mexican wedding cakes are a simple yet delectable dessert that are sure to please any crowd. Whether you're looking to add a touch of Latin American culture to your wedding, or just want to satisfy your sweet tooth, this recipe is a must-try. So why not gather your ingredients and treat yourself to a taste of home with these delightful cookies?
