Growing up on the Mexican border, we have a deep and heartfelt appreciation for so many of the culture's foods, customs, and traditions. One of our family's very favorites is the Traditional Mexican Wedding Cookie. Mouth-wateringly tender, bursting with flavor, and absolutely irresistible, these cookes are staples at every gathering and special occasion throughout Mexico and all along the Tex-Mex border.
When it came to Mexican Wedding Cookies, the gold standard near our home in the Rio Grande Valley was always Romero's Bakery. After they closed and we moved to central Texas we were never able to find a Mexican Wedding Cookie that sings with quite the same texture and flavor. After years of searching we'd almost resigned ourselves to forever being just a little bit disappointed in every other Mexican Wedding Cookie we tried.
That's probably why we were so excited to discover that daughter Liddy Romero has resurrected her family's traditional recipes and is now making the delicious Mexican Wedding Cookies we fell in love with growing up. After straight up stalking her for several months, she agreed to partner with us to share them with you. We couldn't be more thrilled!
The Tasting Tin Trio includes two dozen (24) cookies representing all three of Romero's wildly popular and unbelievably delicious Mexican Wedding Cookies packed in a tin and ready for gifting, gracing your dessert table, or just treating yourself. Whether you call it a party, a fiesta, or just plain old everday indulgence, you'll be so glad you chose these cookies and want to come back for more over and over again.
Cookie Varities:
- Luna - Traditional, authentic Mexican Wedding Cookie, crunchy shortbread with delicious pecan bits covered in powdered sugar.
- Valentina - Polvorones cookies; a bit of a crunch, and with toasted pecans. Bite-sized, heart-shaped Mexican cookies, sweet and buttery short-bread crumble, covered with cinnamon and sugar.
- Stella - These star-shaped wonders are our very favorites. Light, sweet, and buttery short-bread crumble that almost just dissolves in your mouth sprinkled with just the right amount of cinnamon and sugar. Oh, and they're also nut-free.
We're thrilled to be able to share these cookies with you just in time for Cinco de Mayo, Mother's Day, Graduation, and other Spring Celebrations (like birthdays and baby or bridal showers). We hope you love them as much as we do!
