LEMON LIME MEXICAN WEDDING COOKIES

“Looking for just the right cookie to remind you of marital bliss?  Here you go!  A traditional Mexican Wedding Cookie with a splash of citrus flavor.  These cookies will have you saying, ‘I do.’  Enjoy!”

1 cup Butter

1/2 cup Sugar

1 Tablespoon Lemon Juice

1 Tablespoon Lime Juice

2 cups Flour

1/4 teaspoon Salt

Powdered Sugar

 

Cream the butter and sugar.

Mix in the lemon and lime juices.

Mix in the flour and salt.

Wrap dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

Place Tablespoon sized balls of dough onto parchment paper lined baking sheets.

Bake for 20 minutes or until the cookie bottoms have browned.  I would recommend that you begin checking on the cookies after 12 minutes, because these cookie brown very quick and nothing makes one cry like burned cookies, except for maybe rain on your wedding day.

Remove from oven and cool slightly.

While still a little warm, roll in powdered sugar.

Cool completely.

Roll in powdered sugar again and live happily ever after.

 

Makes about 30 cookies.

Wedding Cookie Postscript – “Long After the Rice has Landed…”

Savor this day.  Treasure this beautiful moment.  Learn from each other in the years ahead.

Trials harder than you ever imagined await.  You will share joys that will bring tears.  It is however the everyday moments that will define you.

Hold each other close, even when you want to be far away.  Express compassion, even when you are tired.  Patience, when you have had enough.  Love in all instances.

Then years from today, may you turn to each other and smile, because you will find yourself in a place you never imagined, living a life that you would not have any other way, beside the one person that truly understands.

May Godspeed and blessings beyond measure be yours today and forever.
