Feature: Day 5 - Mexican Wedding Cake Cookie Recipe: “Treasure Cookies” Variation


Image: The Cookie Elf

This Mexican Wedding Cake Cookie Recipe is an easy version of the more traditional round, powdered cookies that are popular not just during the holidays, but at special occasions like weddings, showers, and christenings. 

Sometimes called “Treasure Cookies,” these luscious little snowballs include miniature chocolate chips – the “treasure” inside the pure white exterior.

And the insides of the cookies are soft, rather than crumbly like shortbread – a tribute to brown sugar and less flour in the dough. Soft dough = easier to form into balls.

Prep time: 20-30 minutes
Bake time: 12-15 minutes
Makes about 3 dozen slices
