About Mexican wedding cookie
Mexican Wedding Cookies, also known as polvorones, are delicate, buttery confections often served at celebrations. These cookies have roots in Spanish and Mexican cuisine, where they are cherished for their crumbly texture and melt-in-your-mouth richness. Traditional ingredients include flour, powdered sugar, nuts like pecans or almonds, butter, and a dusting of extra powdered sugar for sweetness. While their nuttiness offers a dose of healthy fats and protein, the cookies are high in refined sugar and saturated fat, making them more of an indulgent treat than a health food. Their simplicity and homemade charm have made them a festive favorite across generations and cultures. Perfect as a dessert or alongside a cup of tea, they remind us that some foods are best enjoyed in moderation, letting us appreciate their rich flavor while staying mindful of our overall diet.
