How to Make Polvorones De Chocolate Mexican Chocolate Cookies

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine all ingredients.
  2. Mix thoroughly until a dough forms.
  3. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the dough for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours for easier handling).
  4. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  5. Scoop approximately 2 tablespoons of dough. Roll each scoop into a ball, then roll it in granulated sugar until fully coated.
  6. Place the sugar-coated dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  7. Gently flatten each ball to about 1/4-inch thickness using the palm of your hand.
  8. Sprinkle a little extra granulated sugar on top of each cookie.
  9. Repeat steps 5-8 with the remaining dough.
  10. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Keep a close eye to prevent over-baking.
  11. Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This prevents them from becoming too crumbly.
