How to Make Buttery Mexican Wedding Cookies
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
- Cream the softened butter and powdered sugar in a large mixing bowl using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
- Stir in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
- Combine flour and salt in a separate bowl, then gradually add to the butter mixture, mixing until just incorporated.
- Fold in the finely chopped nuts until evenly distributed.
- Shape the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes until bottoms are lightly golden.
- Cool the cookies on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- Roll them in powdered sugar while warm, and again once completely cool.

Notes
Consider chilling the dough for 20-30 minutes before baking to maintain shape. Rolling in powdered sugar while warm helps adherence.
