Polvorones are traditional Spanish Christmas cookies flavored with almonds and crumbly in texture.

Like polvo, “powder” or “dust” in Spanish, these cookies will crumble to a dust-like consistency in your hand or mouth, but the name also derives from the fact that some choose to dust them with generous amounts of powdered sugar, making them dusty on the outside.
