Polvoron is a Filipino shortbread cookie made with toasted flour, powdered milk, butter, and sugar. It can be flavored with a variety of ingredients including ground nuts, rice cereal, crushed Oreos, and freeze dried fruit.

A polvorón (From polvo, the Spanish word for powder, or dust) is a type of heavy, soft, and very crumbly Spanish shortbread made of flour, sugar, milk, and nuts (especially almonds).

Polvorones are a type of crumbly cookie from Spain. Countries that were former Spanish colonies, such as Mexico, each have their own versions of this treat—and the Philippines is no exception.

Filipino polvorones often incorporate local ingredients to create uniquely Filipino flavors, such as pinipig (toasted rice) or ube (purple yam). The recipe I'm going to share with you here demonstrates how to make the basic (plain) version.
