Mexican Bride Cookies recipe

2 servings

2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 cup confectioners' sugar

1 cup butter, softened

1 pinch salt

1 cup chopped pecans

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Preheat oven 350 degrees F (150 degrees C).

Mix the flour, sugar, salt, and nuts together in a medium bowl.

Stir in the vanilla.

Either with your hands (my favorite way) or with a pastry cutter, work the butter into the flour mixture until it becomes a ball.

Shape the dough into 24 one inch flat circles, and place on a cookie sheet.

Bake for 30 minutes or until they are lightly browned.

After they have cooled on a rack, dust them heavily with confectioners' sugar.
