On Saturday night my FMIL (aka 'evelyn','Edi', 'mami', 'eveling') Irma and I made cookies. This was a LONG time coming. See these were originally supposed to be Christmas cookies, then became Hanukah cookies, then new years cookies, then 3 wisemen day cookies. So we figured, how bout we jump ahead of the game and make Valentines day cookies. So i busted out my multiple hearts, and X&O's. Irma got her Gingerbread men and mami got her angels. It was like there was a cookie party and someone forgot to tell the Easter bunny, but i digress.
We were to make about three different batches of cookies. Eh. Only one made it.
The first recipe was called Mexican Wedding Cake, although they are cookies. And i actually have the recipe for this one.
1c butter
3/4c confectioners' sugar
1tsp. vanilla
2c flour
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Cream butter. This can be done by hand, electric mixer or food processor.
Add sugar to the creamed butter. Mix well
Mix in flour and vanilla. Dough will be thick. Do not become frightened.
Once thoroughly mixed pinch off small amounts of cookie dough, about the size of a quarter and roll into 1inch balls.
Place on ungreased cookie sheet about 1 inch apart from its neighbor.
Bake for 10-15 minutes until bottom is browned. Keep an eye on them, our first batch became Cajun style.
Let cool for a few minutes and then roll in confectioners' sugar. And Enjoy!
These were super easy to make and tasted great.
Now we also attempted to make "spritz cookies" but those were just awful and we didn't have a cookie press so they became very difficult to work with. So i wont even get into those.
The third batch never stood a chance against the clock. We all called it quits around 11:30.
I will post pictures of the cookies once i find my cable that connects my camera to my computer. You havent seen it have you?
