Stephanie, these cookies are delicious! My mom used to make these and they literally melt in your mouth. I remember being newly married (41 years ago) and making these for my husband. I didn't know how to bake or cook back then and when he got home from work and tasted them he thought I'd purchased them from a bakery. I will use your recipe for the batch I make for Christmas because every recipe you share is truly the best! Thanks for reminding me of how easy and scrumptious these cookies are. Happy holidays!
*I see Carrie loves this recipe too. She just gave a pecking kiss to Stephanie's island in agreement. These Mexican Wedding's Cakes are scrumptiously delicious!.Merry Christmas Everyone!*
I've loved these since I used to get them at the neighborhood bakery before walking home from school. These look delicious and another to add to my holiday cookie dish.
Stephanie! you are brilliant at what you do! i love your videos and your simple straightforward style of presentation! i'm an experienced baker and i've really enjoyed so many of your recipes! Made these last night and they were phenomenal. I gave some to my 90 year old neighbour and i got a call 2 minutes later telling me how wonderful they are. My kids are making powdered sugar mess as i type! Thank you!
Hi Miss Stephanie! I've never made these before; I'm getting ideas for my Christmas 🎄 Cookie Gifts and have decided on this one, as one of them I will make to give out! They're Pretty, tasty, delicate and very "Christmasy!"🎄⛄❄️ TY for sharing! .... Kathy, from Springfield, Missouri ❤️
My grandmother would bake these cookies every Christmas 🎄💞along with her pecan pies. 😋 When I had my own place I'd make sure to take some home with me! They were addictive.
Hi Beautiful Stephanie!!💜❤💖 I didn't have any electronics for a while. I miss you💓😊 you always brighten up my Day!❤ thank you for spending time with me for the holidays. 🌲💖🎁 God Bless you always! I love you❤💓💜
I must tell you I made your Dundee recipe and it came out picture perfect I shot a picture to a family member and they asked if it was store brought..it was a lot to put together but well worth it .I’ll have to wait for a taste.happy holidays to you and all who visit your channel.
Joy, I used to bake so many cookies before Christmas and store them in tins to enjoy well after the holidays as well, this was one that I always would make, so delicate and melt-in-your-mouth heavenly. 😇
I make this all these time.. for gifts, special occasions or just because my daughter wants some . Thank you Stephane. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year's to you and your family.
Tasty recipe! Thank you very much Stephanie! Shortbread is always delicious! And I love Carrie checking on you! Thank you for the lovely shot! Kind regards!
Thank you Stephanie! I made this a month ago for the first time and they were so delicious and super easy to make 😋 I was also able to share them with my neighbor. I used walnuts instead of pecans. I love watching your recipes as I made several now (your pecan pie and ricotta cheesecake). Cheers from the 🇺🇸.
It’s similar to our Lebanese cookies which we call Maamoul and it comes in three different kinds - wallnut, pistachios and dates. Instead of normal flour, we use for it semolina ... hope you could try sometime or if needed, I could arrange to forward the recipe 😊😋
There's no place like my kitchen. There's no place like my kitchen. There's no place like my kitchen. Well, it was worth a try but I still have three guys here replacing the water heater. So kitchen is not accessible for a while longer. Doesn't stop me from me making these cookies. If not today, this weekend. Love recipes with pecans!
Isn the past, I've had poor results processing my nuts in the food processor, they get gummy. Your tip of adding some flour is brilliant! Again, your expertise is appreciated.
I’ve made these before (using your recipe of course!) and they are so good. I plan on giving cookies this holiday for my coworkers and this will be on my list. Thank you, Stephanie. Hello Roxie! ❤️
Perfect pre-Christmas recipe. I'm thinking about pressing them lightly into coloured sugar as many don't want to have powdered sugar all over their mouths. Tip: For anyone using a Christmas green/red coloured sugar for anything. Buy 2x the amount of red as to green b/c the red doesn't show up very well.
I think they are as same as Greek wedding cookies, Kourabiedes. I had ever made them before. I still want to try your version since your recipes are always good..
Hi Stephanie! I’ve been following you for 2 years now. I’ve baked a lot of your recipes already and they all turned out great. Surely, this one will be an addition to the list. Could you try two of filipino desserts I like which are sans rival and/or silvanas? Both have nuts just like the one you just baked but this one has meringue and buttercream which also melts in the mouth. It would be nice watching you featuring this yummy desserts . Thanks
This looks iiiintresting despite the fact that I'm supposed to be doing a major art project rn. Ima watch Btw Stephanie (hope I spelt your name right) your hair looks nice today/ in the vid
They are a great treat. The cookie dough itself has very little sugar( powdered) and then some more gets sifted over after baking. But by no means are these tooth achingly sweet! there's much more fat in here than sugar...and worth every calorie!
One of my favorite cookies. My mom makes them for Easter. Your pates are so pretty. Are they Polish or Eastern European by any chance? They look like the expensive Polish ceramic plates and cups you can buy.
[1] How do you freeze them? All together in a Ziploc? or wrapped separately? [2] How to thaw them after being frozen? In the fridge or outside, and for how long? Many thanks.
If you weighed the flour the only things I can think of is the batter needs to be mixed more or they need to be baked less. Also these cookies do crumble when they are hot.
I always have trouble getting my Mexican wedding cakes to be round. I know the laws of physics mean they won’t be round like a ball, but I would like them to be rounder than they come out. I search the internets every holiday season looking for tips. I still make them of course, they’re so delicious, just want them to look nicer, aka rounder.
Hi! In Greece this similar recipe - using almonds either chopped or not) we call them " kourambiedes" and it's the most tradional sweet during christmas period. If you want i can share the recipe.

Awwww, how nice you have some four footed company with you in the kitchen! Super cute!
Yum! They look like delicious little snowballs!
These are my favorite Christmas cookies. My grandma used to roll the dough around a candied cherry, which was good, but I prefer them without.
Looks delicious I will be making them for Christmas. Thank you so much for sharing ❤
Thank you Stephanie! I made this a month ago for the first time and they were so delicious and super easy to make 😋 I was also able to share them with my neighbor. I used walnuts instead of pecans.

i tried them with hazelnuts and they blew my mind! i usually use walnuts and pecans for baking, but i made an exception here...boy was i glad!

All good in all but still Mexicans invented them powered cookies and that is why they are Mexican Wedding Cookies!
There's no place like my kitchen.

Good afternoon Stephanie!! 🌞🌞🌞
Nice dear
Oh you are soooo cute the way you explain with all honesty
Nice 👍 Thanks for sharing
One of my favorite cookies. My mom makes them for Easter.
Your pates are so pretty. Are they Polish or Eastern European by any chance? They look like the expensive Polish ceramic plates and cups you can buy.
Wowww👍👍
Nice One
Good job
These are actually called “besitos de nuez” 😊at least that is how we know them in Mexico 🇲🇽 😊
Love it ✨❤️
My family always called these Italian wedding cookies.
Looks easy enough
[1] How do you freeze them? All together in a Ziploc? or wrapped separately?
[2] How to thaw them after being frozen? In the fridge or outside, and for how long?
Many thanks.
I just freeze them all together. You can thaw them out on the counter in about 1/2 hour.
@@joyofbaking Many thanks for the answer!
I hv trouble with the cookies crumbling. I thought I did what you showed, but they still crumbled. Can u help pls? I do chill batter. Tku
If you weighed the flour the only things I can think of is the batter needs to be mixed more or they need to be baked less. Also these cookies do crumble when they are hot.
Thank you👍
So chilling the batter keeps it from being a very flat cookie?
Yes, it can help.
nice....from Hongkong
I always have trouble getting my Mexican wedding cakes to be round. I know the laws of physics mean they won’t be round like a ball, but I would like them to be rounder than they come out. I search the internets every holiday season looking for tips. I still make them of course, they’re so delicious, just want them to look nicer, aka rounder.
Yes unfortunately they do flatten at bit in the oven.
What type of butter is good for these. Can you use European butter or is American butter better?
You can use either type in this recipe.
@@joyofbaking Thank you
Gonna make these Sunday. I had problems with the Buck Eyes. The chocolate wouldn’t firm up. Ugh
Because the chocolate isn't tempered, you need to refrigerate the Buckeyes for the chocolate to harden.

All good in all but Mexicans invented them cookies and that is why they are called Mexican Wedding Cookies😗😄😁!
I'd just leave them without rolling them in icing sugar. They are just delicious without more sugar
hi mark good vey
1 tsp of vanilla extract per grams of what? Thank you.

Can you use almond flour instead?
You can replace some of the all purpose flour with almond flour.
@@joyofbaking thank you 😊
Is this the same melting moments recipe?
Melting moments don't use nuts. Otherwise it is the same.
Should add mini choc chips
You didn’t mentioned peanuts. Can I use peanuts?
Yes.
Thank you for your reply.
Apart from adding the pecans, isn’t this your melting moments?
Yes I mentioned that in the video.
@@joyofbaking I made those melting moments and added pecans to them. They were to die for. So delicious and was a big hit among all.
Why you don't put the ingredients list??????
In the description box there is a link to the written recipe. All written recipes can be found on our website joyofbaking.com
