| Pecan Crescents |
These little cookies have many names. Some call them, Mexican wedding cookies, Snow Balls, Danish wedding cookies, but growing up, my mom called them, "Pecan Crescents". She would make these every Christmas and give them to family and friends. You cannot eat just one! They are so buttery and literally melt in your mouth. No one can make them like my mom. Unfortunately, she cannot make them any more, so I have the recipe and I will attempt to follow in her footsteps and carry on the tradition.
This is another treasured recipe. Not just for the recipe, but because it is in her handwriting.
In honor of my mom, next week, every one who places an order will get a special treat of these homemade pecan crescent cookies!
Make a batch this Christmas!
