POLVORONES MEXICANOS
The recipe for these cookies is so easy to make, and the best part is the versatility of the dough. With the same dough, you can make many different cookies or Polvorones Mexicanos. The only thing you will change is the shape, flavor or toppings depending on what cookie you want to make with it.

Steps:
- First, adjust the oven rack to the middle position and turn the oven on to 325 degrees. Grease 2 baking sheets or line with parchment paper.
- In a medium size bowl mix the flour, baking powder and baking soda.
- Using a stand mixer, beat shortening and sugar on medium speed until it turns fluffy and creamy, for about 3 minutes. Add egg and orange zest or vanilla and beat until combined. Reduce speed to low and add the flour mixture one cup at a time, scraping down the bowl as needed. The dough will become a little stiff. If you don't have a stand mixer, mix the ingredients in the same order in a large bowl using a wooden spoon or rubber spatula. I had made them using a stand mixer and by hand and both methods work fine. Of course, it will be faster using the stand mixer.
- Divide the dough in half forming a disc with each piece of dough. Roll each disk of dough into a large circle using your rolling pin, about 1/3 inch thick, on the lightly floured surface. Using the 3 1/4 biscuit cutter, cut out 8 circles, re-rolling dough scraps just once to form more circles. Roll out the second disk of dough and proceed to form the rest of the circle as you did with the first tone.
- Place dough circles on prepared baking sheets spacing the cookies 1/2 inch apart. Dust center of the cookies with granulated sugar. Bake until edges are lightly browned, about 18 minutes, switching and rotating baking sheets halfway through baking time. Let the cookies cool on sheets on baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to cooling wire racks.
- When baking cakes, bread or cookies, I prefer to use grams instead of ounces or cups, tablespoons or teaspoons. When using grams, your measurement of ingredients will be more precise every time. Baking is a little bit of science and art, and every time you change the amount of an ingredient the results are going to be different. Kitchen scales are not expensive and are a very useful tool for your baking.
- This is another common shape for polvorones, and for this, you will need a very highly sophisticated gadget: a glass bottle! Yes, use the tip of a glass bottle to stamp that little circle at the center of the cookies.
- Place about 1/2 cup of granulated sugar in shallow dish. Divide the dough into medium size balls (65 grams), with your hand roll 16 balls. Roll balls in sugar to coat.
- Place the balls on a lightly floured surface and with the bottom of a thick glass gently press down one at a time to a 1/3" inch thick. Dust tip of the glass bottle with flour and then gently press the center of the cookie. Some bakeries add 1/4 teaspoon of strawberry preserves in the center circle.
- Make sure to space cookies 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets and bake for about 18-20 minutes, until edges are golden.
- Form a log with the dough and refrigerate about 30 minutes, wrapped with plastic film.
- When ready to bake, cut in 1/3-IN slices, place on baking sheet, sprinkle with sugar, and bake 18-20 minutes.
- To form these cookies divide the dough into 65 grams balls, roll them with your hands in a long shape resembling a banana. Gently press your finger into the dough slightly flattening the top.
- Mix one egg yolk with few drops of water. Brush the top part of the dough with egg yolk. With a fork scratch the top surface of the dough. Brush egg yolk once again over the top of the cookie dough.
- Bake as instructed above.
- As mentioned before, this dough is very versatile, you can just brush the tops with egg yolk before baking to get a glossy cookie, or brush with egg yolk and cover with multicolor sprinkles, or once the cookies are baked and cool down dust them with confectioners sugar.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt, then set aside.
- In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugar for about 2 minutes on medium speed, until fluffy and pale in color. Reduce the speed to low and add the egg yolks one at a time, waiting until the first one has been fully incorporated before adding the second egg. Add the vanilla, then gradually add the flour mixture, one cup at a time, until it's all fully combined.
- Place plastic wrap over a bowl and pour in the cookie dough. Wrap up your dough and place it in the refrigerator for one hour.
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
- Cut your cookie dough into 4 equal sized balls. (Place any dough you aren't working with back in the fridge) Roll your dough out on a floured surface to abut a ½ inch in thickness.
- Use your cookie cutter to cut out the cookies, then evenly space them on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. (You should be able to get 4 cookies per ball of dough with a 4-inch cookie cutter).
- Once you have your cookies on your cookie sheet, brush on the egg wash, add sprinkles and then bake for 9-10 minutes. Place your cookies on a cooling rack and let cool for 10 minutes before serving.

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.
