Bolacha, commonly known as Portuguese biscuits or cookies, are a traditional snack originating from Portugal. Typically made with simple ingredients such as flour, sugar, butter, eggs, and often flavored with vanilla or lemon zest, bolachas come in various shapes and textures, ranging from crisp to slightly crumbly. While some varieties are plain, others may be coated with chocolate, sprinkled with cinnamon, or filled with jam. Bolachas are enjoyed as a light snack with coffee or tea and are a staple in Portuguese cuisine. From a nutritional standpoint, bolachas are a source of quick energy due to their carbohydrate content but are often high in sugar and fat, making them best enjoyed in moderation. Although not particularly nutrient-dense, homemade versions can be adjusted to include whole-grain flour or reduced sugar for a slightly healthier option. They highlight the balance between indulgence and tradition in Portuguese culinary culture.
