Mexican Wedding Cakes

I’ve never had these at a wedding,

but they’re a favorite at Christmastime!

• 1 CUP BUTTER OR MARGARINE
• 1/2 CUP POWDERED SUGAR
• 1 TSP VANILLA OR ALMOND EXTRACT
• 2 CUPS FLOUR
• 1/4 TSP SALT
• 3/4 CUP FINELY CHOPPED NUTS
• ADDITIONAL POWDERED SUGAR FOR ROLLING

__________________________________________

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Beat together butter, powdered sugar and vanilla. Work in flour, salt and nuts until dough holds together. Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Place on un­greased cookie sheet.

Bake 10-12 minutes or until set but not brown. While warm, roll in powdered sugar. Cool. Roll in sugar again.

Makes approximately 4 dozen.
