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.
Ingredients
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup confectioners' sugar, divided
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup chopped almonds (for Mexican Wedding Cookies, use pecans or walnuts)
Directions
  • In a small bowl, cream butter and 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Beat in vanilla.
  • Gradually add flour and mix well.
  • Stir in almonds.
  • Shape into 1-in. balls.
  • These are smaller than you think!
  • My balls were slightly larger 😉😉, and only made 2 doz.
  • Place 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets.
  • Bake at 350° for 13-16 minutes or until bottoms are golden brown and cookies are set.
  • Cool for 1-2 minutes before removing to wire racks to cool completely.
  • Roll in remaining confectioners' sugar.

🙄 Help: Seriously? You don't need any help.
🌄 Why No Pictures: Well, there ARE some pictures, here and there. But to be honest, if you need pictures showing you how to stir something, you shouldn't be cooking! And really, I find them annoying when all I want to do is look at the recipe! Also, we haven't made most of these recipes. We occasionally take pictures of the finished product when we remember!
💯 Why There Are Recipe Numbers Missing: Well, it's like this. The recipe numbers are automatically generated by the database, always using a new number for a new recipe. Over the last 20 years many recipes, mostly test recipes, have been added and then deleted, leaving only their memory and their number behind. And there was also a lot of weird stuff going on in the beginning, which messed up the order. In terms of date added, the first one is #6, then #4, #9, #10, #4, #718!!!, #2, and finally #1. Just the way databases and poor programmers work!
