This recipe is so simple and the pictures on this post are so clear I actually made them perfect the first time!!! They are so good that I personally don’t need to worry about how long they can keep because they somehow disappeared as soon as they were dusted with sugar!! Baking is not my specialty so it is very exciting to try something new and it works!!!

Thank you for the quick reply! They turned out very well. I only had walnuts and definitely taste the blandness with them. Will make again later this week and use Texas Pecans! Thanks again for the great recipe!!!

Great Antonia! As long as you keep them covered, they will stay nice and fresh for about 5 days.

Hola,

I am making these, but wonder how long they should keep to ensure the freshness?

Mil gracias!

My mother is from Paras Nuevo Leon and she always made these polvorone cookies for us kids growing up. Mom is 84 and she wanted a recipe to refresh her memory. I googled for recipe and found yours at the top of the list. I read most of the comments and thought I’d add mine. Was surprised to see you have a show on pbs! I will look for it. I’m also looking forward to tasting the end result of the cookies!! I wrote down the recipe for mamma! Thanks Pati

Hi Yvonne, I’m so excited you are going to make the wedding cookies for your daughter’s bridal shower! You can make the cookies a couple days in advance, but I don’t recommend more than 2 days in advance. You can store them in a covered/sealed container at room temperature. Thank you very much for watching the show!!
