We are obsessed with Taco Tuesday at our house. It is “Awesome”! I wanted a dessert for this weeks taco night and decide to make Mexican Wedding Cookies.
I love these crumbly balls of goodness. Of course this version is free of nuts, gluten and dairy. I used raw pumpkin seeds, but roasted would be good too. I’ve made these before with sunflower seeds and they were wonderful. I like to enjoy these cookies for an afternoon snack with coffee.
I also love that these are made completely in the food processor. It makes these really easy to make. The longest part of this recipe is the cooking time. But they are worth it. Enjoy!
