My sister made these for Christmas this year and they are really good! The recipe came from a magazine. These cookies are tender and crumbly, like Mexican Wedding Cakes, and are very chocolaty with a hint of cinnamon.

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup butter, softened
1 1/4 cups powdered sugar
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 cup pecans, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325°F.
  • Beat butter in a large mixing bowl using an electric mixer for 30 seconds. Add in 1/2 cup of the powdered sugar, 1/4 cup of the cocoa powder, and the vanilla and mix until combined, scraping the sides of the bowl occasionally.
  • Add in as much flour as you can while using the mixer. Stir in any remaining flour, 1/2 teaspoon of the cinnamon and the pecans.
  • Shape dough into 1 inch balls and place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake 18-20 minutes or until lightly browned. Allow to cool completely.
  • Combine the remaining 3/4 cup powdered sugar, 1/4 cup cocoa powder and 1/2 tsp cinnamon in a small bowl. Roll the cooled cookies in this mixture.
  • Store in layers separated by waxed paper in an airtight container. Cookies can also be frozen for up to 3 months, thaw before serving.

These were a bit too dry for me. I think I would have liked them better if they were a bit more moist.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my Mexican hot chocolate balls turned out too sweet. I'm going to try again with less sugar.

I thought these were just okay. The chocolate flavor was a bit weak and the spices were overpowering.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my Mexican hot chocolate balls turned out dry and crumbly. I'm going to try again with a different recipe.

These are the perfect make-ahead treat. I made a batch a few weeks ago and they're still just as delicious.
