Beat butter until whipped in large bowl for 30 seconds. Add 1/2 cup sugar, beat until mixed. Scrape down bowl and add milk, vanilla and salt. Beat until combined and then start adding flour, 1/2 cup at a time until all mixed in. Add nuts and make sure it's all combined.
Pre heat oven to 325. Using a teaspoon and hands, form 24-36 balls. Place on ungreased cookie sheets and bake for 15 minutes until lightly browned on bottom. Take off cookie sheet and place on paper toweled lined counter.
Put remaining powdered sugar in paper bag and place cookies in bag 4-5 at a time and gently shake until well covered. Put cookies in airtight container or cookie jar.
A great variation is to add 1/2 cup of mini morsel chocolate chips, do everything else the same.

Mexican wedding cakesThese cookies are very yummy and tender but they do crumble quite easily, so need to be handled very carefully. They've been a favorite in my family for years. My kids love them. |

a family favoriteI've been making this recipe for many many years. Sometimes I substitute walnuts for the pecans. But I always make this at Christmas time and everyone loves them. The dough is very simple to make - but shaping them takes time and patience. The dough is so light and crumbly, you have to rely on the heat of your hands to mold the cookies into shape. I double or triple the recipe some years, and they freeze well after baking & cooling. |
