Canicas de Nuez "Marble Nut Cookies" Recipe
These cookies are from Mexico, and they are a recipe from my aunt. They are small marbled sized pecan cookies covered in powdered sugar that just melt in your mouth! They are fairly easy to make, and are a good way for the younger ones to get involved. Great as a gift too!

Ingredients Convert Measures
- 2 cups of flour
- 1/4 cup of sugar

- Now make large marble sized cookies with the palm of your hands and place them on a greased pan and bake them at 350 degrees for about 12-15 minutes.
- Immediately after taking the cookies out of the oven, sprinkle them with sifted powdered sugar.
