Vegan Polvorones Recipe

Polvorones are one of my all-time favorite sweet treats. They are crumbly, buttery cookies dusted with powdered sugar.

I'm not a baker but this recipe is very easy to follow. I mostly followed Dora's Table Vegan Mexican Wedding Cookies recipe but made several changes in the ingredients used. Visit Dora's Table vegan Mexican recipes.

Here's my modified ingredients list:

• 2/3 cup sugar, granulated

• 2 sticks (8 oz) of vegan butter, room temperature

• 4 tbs of coconut oil

• 3 cups cake flour, all-purpose works too

• ½ cup chopped pecans

• 1 tsp. ground cinnamon

• 2 tsp. almond extract

• 1 tsp. vanilla extract

• 1 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 350F.

• Cream butter, coconut oil and granulated sugar. Dora recommends using a stand mixer, I did mine by hand.

• Add vanilla, almond, extract cinnamon and the chopped pecans.

• Slowly add flour. Mix until well combined.

• Line 2 sheet pans with parchment paper. Roll dough into 1 inch balls.

• Place balls on sheet-tray, 1 inch apart from each other.

• Bake for 15 minutes or until bottoms become golden brown.

• Remove from oven. Place on a wire rack to cool.

• Once completely cool, dust cookies in powdered sugar.

Enjoy!
