Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Classic Italian Wedding Cookies.
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to a cozy 325°F (165°C).
Step 2
In a spacious mixing bowl, blend together unsalted butter, 3/4 cup of confectioners' sugar, and a pinch of salt.
Step 3
With an electric mixer set to medium speed, whip the mixture until it transforms into a smooth and creamy delight, taking about 2 to 3 minutes.
Step 4
Next, introduce finely ground almonds and a splash of vanilla extract to the buttery concoction, stirring until everything is harmoniously combined.
Step 5
Gradually fold in the sifted all-purpose flour, ensuring the dough becomes fully incorporated and silky.
Step 6
For each cookie, scoop about 1 teaspoon of dough and roll it into small balls or crescent shapes, placing them 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheets.
Step 7
Slide the trays into your preheated oven and let them bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the cookies achieve a delicate golden hue.
Step 8
Once they’re out of the oven, allow the cookies to cool on the sheets for around 15 minutes.
Step 9
While they’re still warm, give them a gentle roll in the remaining confectioners' sugar for that perfect sweet finish before serving.
Step 10
Enjoy the delightful aroma and the melt-in-your-mouth texture of these irresistible treats!.
