Best ‘melt-in-your-mouth Mexican Wedding Cookies – Tips

  • Do not use melted or softened butter otherwise cookies will spread more.
  • Use uniformly chopped almond or pecans. This way they will be more evenly distributed that gives an amazing overall texture to the cookies.
  • Do not use a greased-up cooking sheet for baking Mexican wedding cookies, for this will encourage spreading. Parchment papers are the best for baking.
  • Roll up sugar powder while cookies are little bit warm. Roll up twice because the first layer of sugar powder will end up being wet so once you roll again, it will help dry it out.
  • Try chilling the cookies once you shape them for at least 30 minutes before you bake them.

The best way to make a hit at your next party is by bringing these Mexican wedding cookies. They’re extra tender with the most melt-in -your mouth texture you’ll ever tastes.
