When a special occasion arises, Marcus Allen makes Mexican wedding cookies. “I used to mostly eat the cookie dough, but the finished product is also great,” says the New York-based stylist and founder of the Society Archive, a platform that curates vintage designer items. Like good style, the holiday cookie is timeless. “It reminds me of when I was growing up making them with my grandmother,” Allen shares with Family Style. “She’s 95 and still makes them every year!”
