Vegan Orange and Anise Hojarascas (Polvorones)

On August 11th, 2010, the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation in Mexico ruled that same-sex marriages performed anywhere within Mexico must be recognized by the 31 states without exception.

So in honor of becoming the 5th Country in North America (and the 33rd Country worldwide) to allow same-sex couples to marry nationwide, we've baked off some delicious snowball cookies, aka pecan snowballs, aka Italian Butterball cookies, aka Russian Tea cakes, Viennese Sugar Balls, aka

Mexican Wedding Cookies

Ingredients (makes about 18 cookies)

2 Cups All Purpose Flour

1 Cup Almond Flour

¾ tsp Salt

½ tsp Ground Cinnamon

1 Cup Unsalted Butter (room temp)

⅔ Cups Granulated Sugar

2 tsp Vanilla Extract

1 Large Egg

Powdered Sugar (for Coating)

Cream the room temp butter with the sugar until incorporated.

Add the Egg and mix until fully incorporated .

Add vanilla extract and mix well.

In a separate bowl, sift All Purpose Flour and Almond Flour and mix with the salt and Ground Cinnamon

Add the dry ingredients slowly until the dough forms (in about 3 parts).

Once mixed together, wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

After the dough has rested, preheat the oven to 350 and portion dough into 1 to 1 ¼ oz balls.

Place on a greased up pan/sprayed sheet pan about 1 inch apart.

Bake for about 15 to 18 minutes, until slightly brown.

my camera does these an injustice because they are the most candy watermelon colored cookies ive ever fucking seen
