The Scottish say they invented shortbread 400 years ago, but the inimitably decadent mix of flour, butter and sugar has no one birthplace. Spanish speakers call their shortbread polvorones; the French, sablés ("sand tarts"). Even China and India have variations .
Polvorones are traditional Spanish shortbread cookies that originated in Spain, particularly associated with the region of Andalusia. They are made from flour, sugar, and nuts, often flavored with cinnamon or citrus. The name "polvorón" comes from the Spanish word "polvo," meaning powder or dust, which reflects their crumbly texture. These treats are especially popular during the Christmas season, but they are enjoyed year-round in various forms across Latin America and Spain.

It is a Mexican cookie and is somewhat similar to a shortbread cookie. The secret to their flavor is butter, not margarine (it totally changes the taste and texture of the cookie).It may be the Polvorenes De Canele (Mexican Cinnamon Cookie) and the Wedding Cookie are the same cookie, and the origin of the polvorenes de canele is the phillippines.
