FAVOURITE MEXICAN WEDDING CAKES - PECAN COOKIE BALLS!
I love these gorgeous little balls! The use of nuts & icing sugar reminds me of Algerian style cookies - my husband loves them as they are so similar. If you give them a few coats of confectioners sugar youwill get a beautiful finish. This recipe was originally from McCormicks.

- Preheat oven to 325°F, with racks in upper and lower thirds. Scoop off level tablespoons of dough, and roll into balls. Space 1 1/2 inches apart on two large baking sheets. Bake, rotating sheets from top to bottom and front to back halfway through, until just lightly golden around edges, 20 to 25 minutes.
