They are similar to a dry snickerdoodle. I like the buttery, almost flaky texture, and the look very pretty after baking. My classmates approved as well.

The ONLY thing I changed was that I used 1 & 1/4 cups of flour instead of 1 & 1/2. Baked for 15 minutes........WONDERFUL!!!! My mother in law came over while they were baking and the first thing she said after "wow" was "melts in your mouth".....Just as described!!!!

Good recipe, to make them sweeter I added 1/3 c white sugar and 1/3 c brown sugar. Also following the suggestions of others I decreased the sugar cinnamon mix for the rolling part and added brown and white sugar to that as well. Overall, mine turned out delish and went GREAT warmed up with vanilla ice cream!

Oh these are amazing, i added nutmeg to the mixture though, and brown sugar instead of granulated sugar to the final coating. Just remember, that when you form the balls, dont handle too much, because the butter will melt too fast and when baking, go flat instead of retaining their round shape. Roll between palms!

These are sooo good! They just melt in your mouth. I added a little extra cinnamon to the dough, and had to use another 1/2c flour to get the dough firm enough to roll. Also used 3T powdered sugar and 1tsp cinnamon for the topping, and still had a little bit left over. Will definately make these again.

I love these cookies! The only change I made was to increase the cinnamon in the cookie to 1 tsp. I decided to do half the batch rolled in the powdered sugar/cinnamon mixture and the other half rolled in sesame seeds (thanks to oz's comments) and it made for two pretty different, outstanding cookies. I love sesame so I liked the sesame ones a lot, but most of the people I had try them preferred the ones without the sesame seeds. Although my husband thought they were "dry", I don't require all of my cookies to be chewy and gooey, so I loved the texture. The "melt in your mouth" description in some of the comments is completely accurate. A lovely, light cookie, made with just a few ingredients that I generally have on hand. Well done!

I had to add an extra 1/2 cup of flour to roll these in balls. But very good. Not too sweet.

These were just ok to me. They needed a lot more cinnamon flavor and the texture was strange. Another user stated it best-like sand crumbling and melting on your tongue. If you are looking for a savory, chewy cookie then keep looking.

For those of you (such as me) that haven't had "Polvorones de Canele" before, they are like a tasty cross between shortbread and snickerdoodles. Next time, I'm definately doubling the recipe as it doesn't make many and I'm using more cinnamon (1.5 tsp)in the batter for more flavor. As another reviewer suggested, definately watch the cooking time closely. In my oven, it only takes 12 minutes to perfect doneness.

One of my new favorite cookies! Soooo easy to make, and the batter is so tasty I almost hate baking it. I add more cinnamon and some nuts.

Sorry, but this cookie wasn't what I expected at all. It's very buttery, I don't think I will make it again.

My husband needed a dessert for the Mexican bar at work but one co-worker is deathly allergic to nuts so we tried these. They were gone in a flash. I didn't care for them but I don't care much for cinnamon and thought they were greasy but I didn't have to eat more than one.

this was fantastic i loved the buttery flavor and sweet taste.I had a little to much powder sugar mixture, but that was okay because I'll save it for the next time i make it. also add a little more flour and refrigerate for a little time so that it didn't melt when i formed the balls.

These were the hit of the night at my Mexican themed deck party last night. I loved how easy they were to make & they were nice & light which was great after a VERY filling meal. I accidentally cooked one batch longer & so I would say to anyone who makes these, make sure to only bake for 15-16 minutes so that they are still super soft in the middle. Overall, loved the texture and flavor...thank you so much for sharing this delightful recipe! :)

I love these so much. I put them in my Christmas goodie bag for all my friends last year and they all loved them too. I don't change a thing and they always come out great. These get made whenever I need something sweet to share with people, which is fairly often.
