Have a sweet tooth? Tangerine Polvorones are perfect for you

The gift-giving season is upon us.  I love to prepare lots of edible treats, package them in festive containers and show up to gatherings with a little gesture of gratitude for the host. In particular, cookies.  Cookies are always a hit.

Polvorones are sugar and butter cookies regularly sold at Mexican panaderias, or bakeries.  They are similar to sugar cookies and can be customized to any flavor you wish. With a little citrus juice, you can have lemon or orange polvorones.  Add pecans and cinnamon and you will completely transform its flavor profile.  You can even leave them as is and enjoy their buttery flavor with a cup of tea or coffee.

The tangerines at my farmers market were so sweet, juicy and plump.  I decided to turn them into these crumbly cookies for us to enjoy during the upcoming cold evenings.   I used Land O Lakes® Butter with Canola Oil because it’s made with only sweet cream, canola oil and salt.  It’s my go-to for baking and spreads easily right out of the refrigerator for when I want to enjoy it on toast or pancakes.  It’s always a staple in my kitchen no matter what I’m cooking or baking.

Polvorones are great edible gifts.  They have a long shelf life, are delicious and are very easy to prepare.  If you are in a bind, pressed for time and need to contribute to holiday pot lucks or parties, this is the recipe for you.

These sugar cookies can last quite a while.  Keep them in a tight sealed container to preserve their freshness and enjoy whenever you have a sweet craving.
