Polvorones de Canela are Cinnamon Sugar Cookies. This Mexican recipe is made with butter, powdered sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and flour. It takes your traditional sugar cookie and bumps it to the next level with a double helping of cinnamon.
There are as many ways of making this recipe as there are people cooking them. Some people roll the dough into 1″ round balls and cook them like that, They form into a dome. Some people roll the dough into a log and cut the cookies off then cook them, they tend to turn out in an oval shape. But I like uniformity, so I rolled out the dough and used a cookie cutter. Blame it on my OCD baby!
Regardless of how you slice it, you can cut these sweet cinnamon sugar cookies into any shape you can imagine! We chose a standard flower shape for some flare. You can make them for Christmas in the shape of a Christmas tree or for Halloween in the shape of a pumpkin, but they’re just as good throughout the year as they are for a holiday treat.
These cinnamon sugar cookies are easy to make and perfect for afternoon coffee, dessert, or any cookie tray. They are so good with a cup of hot chocolate, coffee or milk. Delight both your family and friends with this tasty treat of cinnamon yumminess!

Hi ! I have a question:
In the picture looks like the cookies is covered with cinnamon and white regular sugar but the recipe says it’s powdered sugar. Which would be the one?
They look delicious and I want to make this recipe 😃 thanks for sharing!
Hi Ibarra, the granulated sugar is used for dusting the cookies after they are finished cooking but still warm. The granulated sugar will stick to the cookie giving it a slightly grainy texture.
Excellent
