Recipe: Mexican Wedding Cookies

Kalmeijer helps bakers produce classic international specialties efficiently and consistently. A great example is Mexican wedding cookies: rich, buttery cookies with walnuts, cocoa, and a soft texture. Thanks to the addition of whipped cream, the dough gains an extra refined mouthfeel and remains highly workable on the biscuit machine.

The result is a luxurious cookie with a powdery finish, ideal for export and premium assortments.

Ingredients – Dough

• 100% flour – 3,000 g (Edelweiss)
• 30% powdered sugar – 900 g
• 60% butter – 1,800 g
• 45% finely ground walnuts – 1,350 g
• 16% whipping cream – 480 g
• 3% cocoa – 90 g
• 1.5% vanilla – 45 g
• 0.7% cinnamon – 21 g
• 0.3% salt – 10 g

Method

• Prepare the dough one day in advance due to the high whipped cream content.
• Allow the dough to cool and rest היט for optimal processing.
• On the production day, briefly knead the dough until smooth.
• Process using the Kalmeijer biscuit machine, optionally using multiple rollers such as:
• a Christmas roller
• a special round roller for uniform export shapes

Finishing

• After baking, generously coat the cookies in powdered sugar to achieve their characteristic appearance and flavor.

Mexican wedding cookies are a wonderful example of how Kalmeijer machines transform traditional recipes into consistent and efficient production, while preserving artisanal quality.
