Mexican Kisses Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Dissolve gelatine in a dish of cold water that is placed over a dish of hot water. Stir to help dissolve.Place dissolved gelatine in a saucepan. Place saucepan over medium heat and add the Maple syrup. Heat until blended, about 1 minute..remove from heat and beat with a whisk until mixture begins to look creamy. Gradually whip in the powdered sugar, vanilla and chopped nuts. Allow to stand a few minutes before dropping onto waxed paper or parchment paper.

Steps:

• Cream together butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy; stir in vanilla.
• Whisk together flour and salt; add gradually to butter mixture; stir in chopped nuts.
• Chill dough if it seems too soft.
• Form dough into 1 1/4" balls and place onto parchment-lined or ungreased baking sheets.
• Bake at 400° for 10-12 minutes or just until the cookies start to turn light golden-brown; remove from oven and allow to cool slightly; while cookies are still warm (but NOT hot) remove them from baking sheets and roll, a few at a time, in powdered sugar until evenly coated; cool cookies completely on wire racks.
• Cookies may (optionally) be rolled in powdered sugar a second time once cooled to room temperature.
• NOTE: Forming dough into 1" balls will increase yield to 48 cookies.
