About Mexican wedding cake cookie
Mexican Wedding Cake Cookies, also known as polvorones or Russian Tea Cakes, are a traditional treat often served at celebrations. Originating from Mexican and European cuisines, these delicate morsels are made with butter, powdered sugar, flour, and finely chopped nuts such as pecans or walnuts. Their signature snowy coating comes from being rolled in powdered sugar after baking, creating a melt-in-your-mouth texture that pairs perfectly with their buttery, nutty profile. While these cookies are rich in flavor, their high fat and sugar content means they should be enjoyed in moderation. The inclusion of nuts provides a small dose of healthy fats and protein, but the heavy use of butter and refined sugar makes them an indulgence rather than a nutrient-packed snack. Perfect for special occasions, Mexican Wedding Cake Cookies exemplify the beauty of simple ingredients in producing a timeless dessert loved across cultures.
