Recipes Cuisine Latin American Mexican Mexican Pecan Cookies 4.1 (21) 17 Reviews 6 Photos This is the best recipe I've tried for the cookies usually called 'Mexican wedding cookies'. These just kind of melt in your mouth with no need to chew on them. The pecan taste is incredible. They are a must for every Christmas reunion with my family.
