... AKA "Mexican Wedding Cookies Gone Awry" I had intended to make mexican wedding cookies, but you know how things go...... you're out of this........ you want to add a dash of that....... and pretty soon you have a different cookie! They are a small, round, crunchy cookie that leaves your fingers covered in powdered sugar.
- 2 3/4 cup flour
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 c crushed salted peanuts*
- 1 c butter at cool room temp
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 tsp pie spice (pumpkin or apple)
Combine the flour, baking soda, salt, and peanuts
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture
Gradually add the flour mixture and combine well
Refridgerate dough if needed for the next step
Shape the dough into small balls (about 1/2-1 teaspoon)
Place on a greased cookie sheet in a preheated 350 degree oven
Bake for about 10 minutes or until somewhat browned on top. you want these to be crunchy!
Allow to cool on the cookie sheet for just a minute or two
Meanwhile, combine the powdered sugar and pie spice in a resealable bag or on a pie plate
Toss the cookies with the sugar and enjoy!
*To crush the peanuts, I just tossed them in a plastic bag and beat it on the floor with the smooth side of my meat tenderizer. Any flat object would work
These are some dough balls I had frozen from a short while ago
This is about how you want the cookies to look when they come out of the oven:
