      Mexican Wedding cookies, called Polvorones in Mexico, are similar to a shortbread cookie. They are rolled in powdered sugar after baking which makes them additionally delicious.

Directions

Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees. In a mixing bowl cream butter and sugar until smooth. Add flour, salt and vanilla and mix until blended. Mix in the nuts.

Roll dogh into one-inch balls and place on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake until light golden, about 10 to 12 minutes. The cookie bottoms should be golden brown.
