Polvorones de Canele (Cinnamon Cookies)

They are not exactly like the Mexican cookies that the Abuela used to get but they taste wonderful. Like other reviews I read, you don’t need that much powdered sugar to roll in and it bakes into the cookies so you don’t see any sugar on the cookies. My ‘s cookies used granulated sugar and cinnamon (with lots of cinnamon). I might try that next time. I dusted with more powdered sugar just to help them look more appetizing. Easy to make and yummy!

Light, airy, puffs of sugar and cinnamon. What's not to love?

Very good big hit with family. I did let the dough balls rest in refrigerator for 25 minutes before rolling in the powder.

These were delicious! Easy to make, made a decent amount, and the perfect texture and taste. Highly recommend this recipe.

Wow! These came out great! I halved the recipe because I wasn't sure how they'd turn out, but I know for next time, I'm okay doing a full batch for the family. I didn't have real butter, so I substituted a vegan Light Olive Oil Margarine instead. I also didn't have an electric whisk, and did it by hand... everything turned out great! (Eating a couple right now as I type this.) Time wise, I stuck to the lower end of 15-minutes and let them cool off before consuming. The reason I chose this recipe was because my husband wanted cookies, but I didn't have eggs or chocolate... these worked out great! p.s. I took someones advise and eyed the amount of sugar/cinnamon to coat them. I rolled them around in a bowl, coating all areas, and then after I flattened them just a bit on top and poured the remaining sugar mixture on each one. I think it added a nice touch.
