Mexican Wedding Cookies
It just wouldn’t be a holiday without these cookies at my house. These easy and fun to make cookies make great gifts for any occasion. This version of the cookie recipe came from Good Housekeeping.
Galletas Elena (Mexican Cookies)
This came from Elena Zelayeta’s Elena’s Secrets of Mexican Cooking. She claims, though, that she is not the Elena of the title, but that this is a popular cookie in Mexico. Kids like the nonpareils
Rice Pudding — Mexican Style, Arroz Con Leche
This arroz con leche recipe comes from a calender cookbook called Mexico, The Beautiful Cookbook. My Mother-in-law was about to throw it out and I found this wonderful rice pudding recipe in it. It is by far the best I have ever tasted. I omit the the lime and orange peel but I am sure it’s probably great with it. uuum, uuum good. *I have made no changes to the recipe but want to make a note that many Food.com users state a frustration with the stirring time so feel free to turn the heat up a little but I posted the recipe exactly as it was on the calendar. I apologize to anyone that has been frustrated. The end result is always wonderful though : ) THANKS for all the wonderful reviews, it is very much appreciated. Enjoy!!!
Mexican Flan (Baked caramel Custard)
This is a traditional Mexican and Spanish dessert and by far my favorite. It is very easy to make and looks beautiful.
Traditional Mexican Wedding Cookies
My mom and I have been baking these for as long as I can remember. They are delectable butter-type cookies served as favors at traditional Mexican weddings. They also make a wonderful addition to any Christmas goodie platter.
