Horchata Polvorones
Don’t be mistaken – these cookies are not your average “snowballs,” or “wedding cookies.” These vegan and gluten-free polvorones are the creative (and delicious) invention of Mariela Camacho, owner of Comadre Panadería in Austin, Texas. Mariela drew inspiration for these flavorful cookies from horchata, a beloved rice milk beverage in Latin cultures, and its rich, deep notes of grains, nuts, and cinnamon. Our thanks to her, these are Mariela’s contribution to our “Baking a Stand” for social justice effort.
