How to Make Torticas De Moron Cuban Cookies From The City Of Moron
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) of softened unsalted butter and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add 2 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and ½ cup finely chopped pecans or walnuts (optional).
- Form the dough into a 2-inch diameter roll.
- Wrap the roll tightly in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour (or up to overnight).
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Once chilled, use a sharp knife to slice the dough into ¼-inch thick rounds.
- Place the cookies onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each.
- Gently press a small indentation into the center of each cookie using your finger.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
