A Mexican version of polvorones cookies, just as crumbly as the original. In Mexico, they are called polvorones with cinnamon. They are prepared for almost any occasion, and even without one, but they are always put on wedding tables. The main feature of this variation is that the warm, ready cookies are rolled in a mixture of powdered sugar and cinnamon.
