Discover the melt-in-your-mouth magic of these Buttery Almond Cookies, also known as Mexican Wedding Cookies. These delicate, powdered sugar-dusted treats feature a tender, shortbread-like texture with the rich flavor of toasted almonds (or traditional pecans or walnuts). The dough comes together quickly, creating bite-sized cookies that are perfect for special occasions, holiday cookie platters, or afternoon tea. Their distinctive snowball appearance and nutty aroma make them instantly recognizable and irresistibly tempting.

💬 Uncle Dave says...
I have found recipes for Mexican Wedding Cookies that use almonds or walnuts or pecans. Everything else is the same, although one of them uses regular sugar for the cookie itself.
