Another one of my mother-in-law’s recipes is this one. During Lent, she enjoys serving this. It consists of fried shrimp patties covered in sauce and nopales. You can eat this as is, or you can serve it with tortillas and rice. Some people like to garnish it with cilantro.

They came out delicious
Easy quick and delicious
It is great
They turned out great!
Simple easy and just delicious! I cooled them completely and then kept them in an air tight container and they were perfect even after 10 days!!
Buttery and delicious. Great recipe that is now a favorite!
I LOVED them! they were so buttery and soft and i also added some cherry filling in them! LOVE this! p.s. I would eat these ALL day!
Nearly identical to my grandmother’s recipe. Excellent flavor and texture. (We make ours in a cookie press.)
Great recipe! I substituted brown sugar for this recipe. Delicious, but I’d prefer them less sweet. May reduce the sugar to 3/4 cup in future.
Super easy, and so buttery! We’ll make these again and again.
So simple yet so-so good. Definitely gonna make more of these again.
The recipe was great and no I didn’t change anything
Terrific recipe. Sometimes I add a dollop of organic jam to the middle.. Everyone loves them!
I am so happy with this recipe, I have received some many compliments and requests for the recipe.
These were quite boring. The oven setting was too high the bottoms burnt and middle soft. My kids didn’t even like them.
This recipe lacked so many details that I felt like I was totally winging it. No recommendation for room temperature butter (I used it straight out of the fridge so the creamed butter and sugar was never “fluffy”), no mention to chill the cookie sheet until you needed the chilled cookie sheet, and NO instructions on how to create a cookie form, just to put them on the sheet. I just ended rolling them out like sugar cookies. Followed the oven instructions (400 F for 10 minutes) and honestly they are not at all what I was like excepting. A bit chewy if I’m honest. I prefer crisp like a traditional butter cookie
Loved it but lets say I accidently added 2 cups of sugar in stead of one, Overall they were easy and delicious.
These turned out great! Nice buttery flavour, and not overly sweet. As I used a cookie press, I had to let the dough come back to room temperature to push through the press.
Absolutely 10/10 for these. It was a big hit with my 13 month old and husband. Filled the Ikea cookie jar and some more. The salty kick in the end gives an overall satisfying taste, not to heavy or sweet or creamy. Love love love it! Thank you for the recipe!
seems to be missing a step . should spread out the dough , using a cookie cutter cut out shapes then bake
Not only do I, my wife,kids and grand kids love these but so do my pups…I’ve adjusted (no sugar for one) it for them and they still love them.
