About Bolachas

Bolachas, commonly known as traditional Portuguese cookies or biscuits, are a versatile snack enjoyed around the world. Typically made from simple ingredients such as flour, sugar, butter, eggs, and sometimes milk, bolachas have a crisp texture and subtly sweet flavor. Variations may include added spices, chocolate, dried fruit, or nuts, depending on the recipe. Originating from Portuguese cuisine, bolachas are often served with coffee or tea and can be homemade or store-bought. While they provide quick energy due to their carbohydrate content, bolachas are generally low in protein and fiber and may contain high levels of sugar and saturated fats. Moderation is key when incorporating bolachas into a balanced diet. For a healthier twist, recipes can be adapted using whole-grain flours, natural sweeteners, or low-fat substitutes without compromising flavor.
