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 festive seasons, such as Christmas, and are enjoyed in various regions of Spain and Latin America. The name "polvorón" comes from the Spanish word "polvo," meaning dust, which reflects their powdery consistency. They are usually shaped into round or rectangular pieces and dusted with powdered sugar. Polvorones are often served alongside other sweets and are a beloved treat for many families during celebrations.
