Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°
  • In a medium bowl, cream the butter with 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • Add the vanilla extract to the butter mixture until just blended
  • Add the flour and mix to combine
  • Roll into 1-inch balls and place them 2 inches apart on an uncreased cookie sheet
  • NOTE: If the dough is too soft to roll into balls, cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes then remove and roll into balls
  • Bake at 350° for 10 minutes (NOT on the bottom rack or they could flatten)
  • Roll in remaining powdered sugar while still warm then again once cooled

Notes

Top Tip: Set your cookies on a wire cooling rack for faster cooling.

Can you freeze them?

Absolutely! After you bake and roll them in powdered sugar, you can freeze them in an airtight storage container or plastic bag. Make sure to use parchment paper to separate the layers, as you do not want them to stick together and cause a mess when you break them out for a treat.
They can last up to two months in the freezer. When you pull them out of the freezer, allow them to thaw to room temperature. You also may want to re-roll them in powdered sugar for aesthetics.

How to store leftovers

To store the leftover gluten-free Mexican wedding cookies, place them in an airtight container, separated by parchment paper. They can last up to ten to fourteen days in an airtight container.
