The ideal addition to your holiday cookie tray, Polvorones, also known as Spanish Almond Cookies, offers a delicate texture and a delicious nutty flavor. Subtly sweet this cookie strikes the perfect balance of taste, allowing you to enjoy the full flavor of Marcona almonds at their finest.
Polvorones comes from the Spanish word for 'powder', and when you bite into one you'll understand why. Its crumbly texture immediately gives way at the first bite, offering up a tender interior. Reminiscent of shortbread, Polvoron is delicate and buttery but with another layer of flavor thanks to the singularly delicious taste of premium Spanish almonds.
A simple combination of sugar, fat, and almonds, originally, these traditional Spanish cookies were made with pork lard. Today, however, the pork is generally swapped out for butter or shortening. Dusted with powdered sugar, they are as pretty as they are delicious, perfect for holidays and special events.
