About Mexican powdered cookie

Mexican Powdered Cookies, also known as polvorones, are a popular treat often associated with Mexican cuisine and holiday celebrations. These delicate cookies are made with simple ingredients including flour, powdered sugar, butter, and finely chopped nuts such as pecans or almonds. Their crumbly texture and melt-in-your-mouth quality come from a rich butter base and the absence of eggs in the recipe. Rolled in powdered sugar after baking, they achieve a sweet, snowy finish. While their indulgent flavor is undeniably satisfying, they are high in saturated fat and sugar, offering minimal protein or fiber. Due to their calorie density, they’re best enjoyed in moderation. Despite their lack of nutritional value, they serve as a cherished festive dessert that reflects cultural traditions and brings a sense of warmth and nostalgia to gatherings.
