Where do polvorones come from?

Polvorones are traditional Spanish shortbread cookies that originated in Spain, particularly associated with the region of Andalusia. They are made from flour, sugar, and nuts, often flavored with cinnamon or citrus. The name "polvorón" comes from the Spanish Word "polvo," meaning powder or dust, which reflects their crumbly texture. These treats are especially popular during the Christmas season, but they are enjoyed year-round in various forms across Latin America and Spain.
