This Christmas we can eat the polvorones more calmly if we prepare them with olive oil instead of lard. It is not necessary to explain here the excellent beneficial health properties of liquid gold (EVOO), not to mention the flavor it brings to these homemade polvorones. To flavor them, we can choose spices such as cinnamon, ginger or anise and citrus peel. If we use molds to cut them, we will get some very fun Christmas sweets.

Ingredients

200 ml. olive oil
125 gr. icing sugar
375 gr. wheat flour
30 gr. ground almond
the zest from the skin of 1 orange
a pinch of ground cinnamon
sesame or sesame seeds

Preparation

Mix the olive oil with the cinnamon, sugar and orange zest. Let rest.
In a large bowl, mix the flour with the previous preparation of oil. If we have some kneading rods, we can use them. When we have a homogeneous paste, we add the ground almonds and knead with our hands. Let the dough rest for half an hour in the fridge, so that it hardens a bit.
We form some balls of dough with our hands and place them in small molds or on a baking tray covered with non-stick paper. We introduce the polvorones in the preheated oven at 170 degrees for 30 minutes or until they are golden. Let cool on a rack.
