Polvorones

  I made these polvorones (also known as Mexican Wedding Cookies) for Christmas.  The feedback was extremely positive so I knew I had to make them for New Year’s Eve as well.  Tender, buttery mounds of walnut freckled cookie goodness are tossed in confectioner’s sugar while they are still warm.  This creates a delicately iced yet powdery cookie with the perfect sweetness.  So good, so very good.
