Embark on a culinary journey to the heart of Mexican tradition with our delightful Mexican Cookie Rings recipe collection! These delectable treats, known as "Roscas de Manteca" in Spanish, are a cherished part of Mexican culture, often served during special occasions and holidays.
With their distinctive ring shape, these cookies are made from a simple yet flavorful dough that is rolled, twisted, and baked to perfection. The result is a crispy exterior that yields to a soft and tender interior, creating a delightful textural contrast. The cookies are then adorned with a sweet glaze, adding a touch of elegance and a burst of flavor.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Beat the butter, sugar, egg yolks and vanilla extract together.
- Combine the flour, baking powder and salt, and sift them into the butter mixture. Stir to make a smooth dough.
- Shape the dough into small balls. Poke your thumb in the center of each ball to make a hole, and shape into rings.
- Dip each ring in nonpareils.
- Bake on lightly greased cookie sheets for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly browned.
- Cool before storing.
Tips:
- Chill the dough before rolling and cutting. This will help the cookies hold their shape better and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the dough. This will help you get clean, even cuts.
- Don't overwork the dough. Overworking the dough will make it tough.
- Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
- Let the cookies cool completely before decorating them. This will help prevent the decorations from melting or sliding off.
Conclusion:
Mexican cookie rings are a delicious and festive treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized with your favorite flavors. With a little planning and effort, you can create beautiful and delicious cookie rings that will impress your friends and family.
