Wow..Its looking great the Mexican Wedding Cookies.I like its presentation too.
These look a lot like Kourabiethes (κουραμπιέδες), my favorites. Funny. I lived in Mexico, Colombia, too, and don't ever remember eating these.
Kim's mom makes an English, or it might be Cuban, version of these. Thanks for the post. I'll give them a try.
PS Your picture is a little scary. Nice but scary. Good effect.
