About Mantecadito
Mantecadito is a traditional Puerto Rican shortbread cookie known for its rich, buttery texture and melt-in-your-mouth flavor. Made with a few simple ingredients—typically flour, sugar, butter, and sometimes a touch of almond or vanilla extract—it is often topped with a small dollop of guava paste or maraschino cherry for added sweetness and flair. Originating in Puerto Rican cuisine, mantecaditos are popular during holidays and special occasions, celebrated for their simple yet indulgent taste. While these cookies are deliciously decadent, their high sugar and butter content make them a treat best enjoyed in moderation. They contain little to no fiber and are calorie-dense, so they're not ideal for those seeking nutrient-rich or low-fat desserts. However, the use of guava paste adds a hint of fruitiness, offering a small dose of natural sweetness amidst the richness.
