Polvorón is a traditional Spanish shortbread cookie, often enjoyed during festive seasons, especially around Christmas. Made primarily from flour, sugar, and fat, it has a crumbly texture that melts in the mouth. The dough is typically flavored with ingredients like almonds or cinnamon, giving it a rich taste. In Spain, polvorones are commonly associated with the region of Andalusia, where they originated. They are often packaged in decorative boxes and given as gifts. Variations of polvorón can also be found in other cultures, such as in Mexico, where they are known as "polvorones" or "mantecados."
