One of my roommates from college got married this weekend- the first one to take the leap. The wedding was on Long Island, so of course being in Texas now this meant another weekend spent traveling, but what's a little traveling when I get to spend the weekend with some of my favorite girls??
reunited and it feels so gooood
The wedding was gorgeous and Dani made an absolutely beautiful bride (we expected nothing less). But spending the weekend catching up, laughing, reminiscing, dancing and celebrating made being extremely exhausted on this fine Monday morning totally worth it!
Italian Wedding Cookies
also known as Mexican Wedding Cookies,
Almond Butter Cookies and Viennese Crescents
Oven: 300 Bake Time: 30 minutes
Yields at least 3 dozen
1 cup butter, softened
1/4 cup sugar
2 cups AP flour
1 cup Almond Meal
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup powdered sugar
Preheat oven to 300. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream butter, sugar and vanilla.
Whisk flour and almond meal- add to butter/sugar mixture.
Mix well until combined.
Roll cookie dough into small balls (a spoonful) or crescents and place on prepared baking sheets.
After baking transfer to cooling rack for at least 20 minutes (you don't want the sugar to melt when rolling).

Once coated these little guys are ready to eat.
Delizioso!
Happy Baking!!

definitely some of my favorite cookies. They're a total pain though, with the shaping and rolling. But when they melt in my mouth, I die a little.
I couldn't agree more! We ate them for breakfast all weekend!
Yum!! I've made these before but used a recipe from Paula Deen. Soooo good!!
I adore Italian wedding cookies. Down in Texas we called them Mexican wedding cookies but they are essentially the same. I wish they were mandatory at every wedding!
Mmm, these look perfect! Sounds like you had such a fun reunion!
I have to hide this post from my husband because he will go nuts if he sees these!
Yum!! Never had it before. I wish I could try
Great cookies for the occasion, I haven't made Italian Wedding Cookies in so long, they look great!
I love those cookies!!!! OMG, I wish I had a plateful, they look so very very good!! It looks like you had a blast with your friends! My wife loves her get togethers with her college roomies, even after 25 years!
I love these! I'm not Italian, but many of my relatives are and they always make these for weddings. I've never tried on my own though :)
