Polvorones are traditional Spanish cookies made from flour, sugar, and fat, typically lard or butter. They are known for their crumbly texture and rich flavor, often enhanced with ingredients like almonds or cinnamon. These cookies are especially popular during the holiday season, particularly in Spain and Latin America. The name "polvorón" comes from the Spanish word "polvo," meaning dust, which reflects their powdery consistency. They are often enjoyed with coffee or hot chocolate and are a staple in festive celebrations, including Christmas and Día de los Muertos.
