Although cookies may not be the first thing that springs to mind when you think of a wedding, once you start thinking about it, you may realize how much they can be a perfect way to celebrate such a special day.
While the wedding cake is still the belle of the ball, cookies can be an excellent support to this main headliner. In fact, cookies are a great treat that are commonly served during weddings or special occasions, we just don’t pay that much attention to them.
If you’re thinking about turning your wedding cookies into a highlight of the wedding’s dessert table, it’s something The Cravory can definitely help you with.
Types of Wedding Cookies
If you type “what are wedding cookies” into Google, the first two results that will pop up are Italian and Mexican Wedding Cookies.
These two are the true kings (or queens) of the wedding cookie world, and for good reason, as they are mouth-wateringly delicious. Their melt-in-your-mouth texture and nutty flavors make them a godly wedding treat.
Italian Wedding Cookies
Italian Wedding Cookies are a traditional dessert often served at weddings and other special occasions in Italian culture. They are made from simple yet rich and flavorful ingredients, including ground almonds, butter, sugar, and flour. Oftentimes, vanilla extract or almond extract is added to enhance the flavor.
These cookies are typically shaped into small, bite-sized balls and then baked until they're lightly golden. After baking, they are usually rolled in powdered sugar while still warm, which gives them a delicate, snowy appearance.
Mexican Wedding Cookies
Mexican Wedding Cookies, also known as Mexican Wedding Cakes or Russian Tea Cakes (or "Polvorones" as they are called in Mexico), are popular treats served at weddings and during the Christmas season. They have a similar concept to Italian wedding cookies but are made with different ingredients.
Mexican wedding cookies are made from a mixture of butter, powdered sugar, flour, and finely chopped nuts, (often walnuts or pecans). Like the Italian version, they are formed into small balls and baked until they’re lightly golden. Once baked, they are generously rolled in powdered sugar while still warm, giving them their signature appearance.
Danish Wedding Cookies
While Italian and Mexican cookies are the most popular, we can’t forget the wonderful, and equally delicious Danish Wedding Cookies.
These cookies originated in Denmark and are a beloved treat in Danish and Scandinavian cuisine. Like their Italian and Mexican counterparts, Danish wedding cookies have a delicate and crumbly texture with a rich, nutty flavor.
The main ingredients in Danish wedding cookies include butter, sugar, almond extract, and flour. They are sometimes made with ground almonds or almond meal to add an extra layer of nuttiness to the cookies. The use of the almond extract, in combination with ground almonds, contributes to the distinct almond flavor that sets these cookies apart.
To make Danish wedding cookies, the dough is usually shaped into small, round balls or crescent shapes before baking. Once baked to a light golden color, they are traditionally dusted with powdered sugar, which not only enhances the sweetness but also gives the cookies an elegant and festive appearance.
