These buttery melt-in-your-mouth cookie balls go by many names in recipe collections, including Mexican Wedding Cakes. They always contain finely chopped nuts and are twice rolled in powdered sugar. This holiday favorite is one of Betty's Best!
You prepare an easy pastry dough, pipe little balls onto your baking sheet with a pastry bag. After baking, you fill them with pastry cream, and spin caramel around the tower of puffs with a fork to create thin threads.
