Recipe: Polvorones (Spanish Cookies)

Misc.
POLVORONES (SPANISH COOKIES)

"Melt-in-your-mouth Spanish cookies."

1/2 lb butter, room temperature
1 1/2 cups sugar, divided use
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
2 eggs
4 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 Tbsp brandy
2 Tbsp ground cinnamon (for topping)

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

In a large mixing bowl, cream butter with the 1 cup granulated sugar and confectioner's sugar until very creamy and light. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition; set aside.

Mix baking powder and salt with the flour: add to creamed mixture in thirds. Finally, blend in the brandy.

Roll out on floured board to about 1/4 inch thickness. Cut with cookie cutter (smallest available). Place on greased cookie sheet.

Bake for approximately 12 minutes, until light gold in color.

While cookies are still hot, sprinkle with a mixture of the remaining 1/2 cup sugar and 2 Tbsp cinnamon.

Yield: about 5 dozen
