How to Make Nut Dreams Aka Wedding Cookies
- Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened margarine, 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until light and fluffy. A stand mixer with a paddle attachment is recommended.
- Gradually add 3 cups all-purpose flour, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in 1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (or a mix!).
- Using a teaspoon measuring spoon, scoop out dough and roll into 1-inch balls.
- Place balls onto prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
- Bake for 25-35 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden brown.
- Remove from oven and immediately roll cookies in powdered sugar while still warm.
- Place cookies on a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cool, roll cookies in powdered sugar again for an extra layer of sweetness.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
