Hot Cocoa Party

 

January is the perfect time to have friends over for cocoa, cookies and conversation! The Mexican Wedding Cookies are one of my favorites.  They fit into the theme perfectly looking like little snowballs.  The recipe is from my mother...

1 cup butter

3/4 cup confectioners' sugar

1 tsp. vanilla

2 cups flour

1 cup chopped walnuts

extra confectioners' sugar

Cream butter, sugar and vanilla, add nuts, then gradually flour.  Shape into 3/4-inch balls.  Place 1/2 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 325 for 15 minutes.
