These buttery melt-in-your-mouth cookie balls go by many names in recipe collections, including Mexican Wedding Cakes. They always contain finely chopped nuts and are twice rolled in powdered sugar. This holiday favorite is one of Betty's Best!

HUGE disappointment. Huge waste of time & money. Followed the recipe exactly - Totally crumbled. Super dry and crumbly - wish I had tried a different recipe. Did anyone at Betty Crocker actually test this first?

I made these cookies last year and will be making them again. They tasted great and held up after they cooled. First I followed the directions and tryed to move them directly from the cookie sheet to the wire rack and they completly fell apart. On my next try I left them on the cookie sheet to cool and that worked. They were really good, you just need a few extrs cookie sheets. Happy Gluten free cooking! P.S. If you are still having trouble or want to firm them up a little more for giving away. A friend of mine froze hers overnight. Good luck!

I heeded the reviews warning that these cookies fall apart and added a bit of xanthan gum. They still crumbled to the touch/roll/bite. What made it to my mouth tasted great but the lack of structure was disappointing. I won't make these again.
