These cookies are a great way to use up leftover egg whites. They are also a great make-ahead cookie. I often make a batch of these cookies and freeze them. Then, when I need a quick and easy dessert, I just thaw a few cookies and serve them.

I've tried many Mexican wedding cookie recipes and this one is by far the best! The cookies are so light and airy and they have the perfect amount of sweetness.

The taste was very bland. I had to add a lot of vanilla to make them taste decent.

Absolutely delicious! I used real vanilla extract (not imitation) and added a touch of cinnamon along with the powdered sugar when coating them.
