Mexican Wedding Cookies

Mexican Wedding Cookies

This is a friend’s grandmother’s recipe and I was so honored to receive it. I had to make some adjustments to make it easier to understand, but otherwise it’s a genuine handed down family recipe. These cookies are very popular in South Texas and I’ve always wanted to make them from scratch. They’re quite easy and make a lot of cookies.

DESSERTS

BUTTERMILK BROWNIES all dressed up for Halloween! These brownies are lighter & fluffier than regular brownies, and are topped when still warm with a beautiful butter & confectioners sugar frosting. I have been making them for years and there’s a reason ~ they’re darn good. 

Lemon Oatmeal Cookies

I’ve been making these cookies for a loooong time. The lemon flavor and coconut makes them extra special. They’re crispy on the outside & chewy on the inside. Get busy & then go grab a big glass of milk. Yum!

Cookie Tacos w/White Chocolate Sauce & Fresh Fruit

DESSERTS

This is one of my favorite desserts to make when preparing a special dinner. It’s showy and requires a lot less effort than you might initially think when perusing the recipe. Granted the recipe is a bit lengthy, but it is for both the cookie tacos and the white chocolate sauce. Don’t be intimidated – it is actually very easy to make both items. You just need to be organized. I recommend making the cookie taco shells the day before you plan to serve them.

So a bit about this recipe… My mom gave me a cookbook back in the late 1980s – Southwest Tastes, by Ellen Brown. It was a compilation of recipes from the PBS series, Great Chefs of the West. There were several well know chefs from San Antonio highlighted in the book; thus, the reason for my mom’s thoughtful gift. Although this cookbook is no longer in print, the recipes are timeless. I have made just about every recipe in this cookbook and it was really responsible for my culinary education. My mom taught me the basics and set the foundation. This cookbook took me to the next level.

DESSERTS

These sweet and savory treats are effortless to prepare, and an Easter tradition in our house. Simply melt white chocolate bark, and add peanuts, crushed pretzel sticks & pastel mini marshmallows. I sprinkled them with Fancy Sprinkles for a little bling.
