Mexican Cinnamon Cookies, Polvorones de Canela image

These delicious cookies were a tradition during the holidays, They were part of the goodies served at Christmas time when I was growing up. This recipe is very similar to my grandmother's recipe. Much to my regret her cookie recipe was never written down. We have always had to make them from memory. This recipe though not hers is...

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cookies turned out dry and crumbly. I'm going to try again using a different recipe.

These cookies are a great way to use up leftover egg whites. I always have a few extra whites after I make a cake or pie.

I'm not a huge fan of cinnamon, but I really enjoyed these cookies. The cinnamon flavor is subtle and not overpowering.
