Mexican Wedding Cookies

So maybe I do fall into the “it’s the holidays, Eat, Drink and Be Merry” justification for being a little lax about what I eat this time of year, but I feel a little better if that food is homemade and I know the ingredients (and can pronounce them) AND there is not mountains of sugar in it. I like to think of these as Mexican Christmas Cookies but they are based on the traditional Mexican Wedding Cookies. I like to make up a batch of tamales on Christmas eve and have these as a little sweet ending to my tamale party. They are tiny…minuscule in fact…so you can eat one and not feel horrible about it. They are fairly low in sugar, have some good omegas from the walnuts and look like little snowballs so how can you not love them. I limit myself to one or two small ones after a healthy meal or give them as hostess gifs along with something a little healthier like Marinated Olives and Tamari Roasted Cashews. I make these every Christmas so we can call it a tradition….but unlike fudge, it is a sustainable one.
