Polvorones: Spanish Christmas Cookies image

Polvorones are a traditional Christmas cookie from the south of Spain. Made from almonds, they crumble into a delicate powder in your mouth, perfect for soaking up eggnog!

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 1/2 cups plain flour
3/4 cup raw (peeled almonds)
1/2 cup of pork lard (or 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons of butter)
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350F (180C).
  • Place the almonds on a baking tray and toast in the oven until they start to go a faint golden color (roughly 8-10 minutes). Reduce the oven temperature to 250F (120C).
  • Take the almonds out of the oven and grind into a flour-like texture in a food processor.
  • Next, in a large mixing bowl, combine the lard/butter, sugar, and cinnamon with an electric hand mixer until smooth and creamy.
  • Add the flour and ground almonds to the lard/butter mixture and incorporate into a dough. (The dough will be quite crumbly, but that's okay!).
  • Place a sheet of waxed baking paper onto a clean countertop or cutting board. In the mixing bowl, work the dough into the shape of a ball, and then put it on top of the baking paper. Carefully flatten it with a floured rolling pin to a rectangle with about a 1/2-inch thickness.
  • Using a cookie cutter, cut the dough into circular cookies.
  • Move the cookie dough to a greased baking tray/cookie sheet (you might want to use a spatula, as the crumbly dough might break apart in your hands).
  • Bake the cookies for 25-30 minutes, until you see the edges start to turn a golden brown. Allow the cookies to cool on the tray until you move them, as moving them hot will likely cause them to crumble to dust!
  • Serve at room temperature, dusted with powdered sugar.

SPANISH POLVORONES



Spanish Polvorones image

Rich and crumbly these traditional Spanish shortbread cookies take on a unique flavor by toasting the flour.

Provided by Lisa & Tony Sierra

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour, sifted
3/4 cup raw almonds
5 ounces unsalted butter
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
powdered sugar (for sifting over cookies, optional)

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Preheat oven to 350 F. Pour flour onto a cookie sheet.
  • Place the flour in the oven and toast it for about 8 minutes, occasionally stirring it so it toasts evenly. Alternatively, place flour in a non-reactive pan on the stove at medium heat and toast for 8 to 10 minutes while stirring. Remove from oven or pan and set aside.
  • Place raw almonds on another cookie sheet. Toast the almonds until they change color just slightly, or about 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Remove and place almonds into a food processor. Process almonds until they are finely ground into a flour-like texture.
  • Reduce oven temperature to 250 F. In a large mixing bowl, cream butter, sugar, salt, and vanilla together with a hand or electric whisk.
  • Add the flour and finely ground almonds to the butter mixture and incorporate all the ingredients well. The resulting dough will be very crumbly.
  • Place a sheet of waxed paper on a cutting board or another flat work surface. Press the dough together to form a ball. Then press the dough onto the waxed paper.
  • Carefully flatten it down with a floured rolling pin, into a 1/2-inch uniform thickness. Use a cookie cutter to cut out the cookies.
  • Since the dough is dry and flakey, use a small spatula to carefully move the cookies to the cookie sheet.
  • Bake cookies for 25 to 30 minutes until you see golden brown on the edges. Allow cookies to cool completely before removing them from the cookie sheet. They are so delicate that moving them while still hot will break them apart.
  • Once cooled, sift powdered sugar over the cookies and serve. Cookies can be stored in an airtight container for up to 10 days.
