What are polvorones? Polvorones (which happens to be the name for like 4 different cookies) are essentially Mexico’s version of the sugar cookie but colored with yellow or pink food coloring. They are crunchy on the outside but soft and chewy on the inside.
The word polvo means powder in Spanish, and these cookies will crumble to dust in your mouth when you eat them! But strictly speaking, they’re named after the generous dusting of powdered sugar on top.
—Elizabeth Bramkamp, Gig Harbor, Washington I love Mexican food, but not the high calorie count that often comes with it. This easy dish is healthy, delicious and a definite crowd pleaser! I like to serve the chicken with warm tortillas, rice, beans and salsa. For an equally awesome dish, you can substitute beef or pork for the chicken.
