So, the story behind the vegan Mexican wedding cookies is that one day, I noticed that every holiday, I see these "powdered sugar ball cookies" so one holiday season I baked some and then my friend, who is a true Latina told me that it's a Mexican Wedding Cookie which got me so excited. Now I don't have to call them "powdered sugar ball cookies"! I also read that some people call them Mexican Wedding "Cakes" instead of cookies but they're cookies. I'm sure there's deeper history behind these lovely cookies but the point is, they're absolutely delicious!
Vegan Mexican Wedding Cookies
Servings: 20 cookies
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup unsweetened soy milk
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cups chopped walnuts
- Powdered sugar for coating
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven at 400°F
- In a large bowl, mix the vegetable oil, soy milk, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract using a whisk or an electric mixer. (I prefer a whisk!)
- In a medium bowl, mix the flour and salt until well combined.
- Pour the flour mixture into the wet mixture using a whisk.
- Add in the chopped walnuts.
- Using your hand, roll the cookies into a round shape.
- Place cookies on a parchment paper and bake for about 10-15 minutes until the bottom of the cookie is golden brown.
- Once you cool the cookies on a cooling rack, while the cookies are warm, roll the cookies into powdered sugar.
So you might be thinking... how are you going to make these classic Mexican Wedding Cookies without butter? You'd be surprised! I won't say it's the same - but it has very similar consistency where it's crispy and hard. And guess what, my friend approves it! That's all that matters for me at least (:
I hope everyone have a wonderful and safe cinco de mayo!
Be responsible!
From my kitchen to yours, Happy Baking!
Smiles,

Hmm! These seem to ne yummy. We also ordered different flavors for souvenirs and favors at my sister's engagement. One of the best NYC wedding venues was hired with beautiful surroundings and lavish barn furniture. Atmosphere was comfortable for all guests and white red blooming flowers looked fabulous. Everyone appreciated the food quality.
