Mexican Wedding Cookies are a delicate and buttery treat that melts in your mouth. These shortbread-like cookies, also known as “polvorones” or “snowball cookies,” are made with simple ingredients like flour, butter, powdered sugar, and crushed nuts, typically walnuts or pecans. The dough is rolled into small balls or crescent shapes and then baked to a light, golden perfection. After baking, they are generously coated in powdered sugar, giving them their signature snowy, sweet finish. These cookies are often served during celebrations such as weddings, holidays, or any festive gathering, and their soft texture and rich, nutty flavor make them a beloved dessert in Mexican cuisine and beyond.
