Growing up our Aunt Eddie always made cookies. Thinking back, I'd take those cookies as gifts any day. I truly wish those recipes would resurface. As I thought about what to do for my sister, for the holidays, I thought, "Hmmmm how about some Mexican Wedding Cookies?" I was going to Servatti's because they have thee best variety of small cookies. I can see the case, filled with varieties, right now. Then a still small voice said, "Find a recipe and make them yourself." So I searched online and found a recipe. I thought I can do this. I had nearly everything I needed.
One of the items I needed was sifted flour. I didn't own a sifter and purchased one at Kroger's. Immediately I thought about the scripture that says satan desires you to sift you as wheat. Can I tell you this, I don't think I've ever sifted wheat. I did notice that the flour was finer though. I think that's going to be a whole nother blog.
Tonight I sat all of my ingredients on the counter and began this process. Cream the butter and the sugar. Add vanilla. Add sifted flour. Add the chopped nuts. I was scared and excited. I rolled them into balls and put them in the oven. When they came out I was still apprehensive until I rolled them in the powdered sugar. Lol. At that point you couldn't tell me nothing because the gift I had envisioned in my mind sat before me.
I think my sister will be surprised and happy. I think my Aunt is looking down proudly knowing that after 30 years since her passing she's still honored.

I hope Marlene enjoys them. I enjoyed making them. So much so that I might just do it again but sooner than Christmas.
