Description

Fine cookie crumbs are small, granular particles obtained by crushing dry or Maria-type cookies until a uniform and fine texture is achieved. This ingredient is widely used in baking and general cooking to create crunchy bases for pies, desserts, and cheesecakes, as well as for sprinkling over preparations to add texture and flavor.

The origin of fine cookie crumbs is linked to the tradition of utilizing cookies that, when crushed, become a versatile element in the kitchen. Especially common in Spanish and Latin American cuisines, their use has spread to various recipes that seek a crunchy texture or a base for creamy fillings.

Regarding their properties, fine cookie crumbs provide carbohydrates and, depending on the type of cookie used, can contain sugars and fats in varying proportions. They are a source of quick energy and, furthermore, their light texture provides an interesting contrast in multiple culinary preparations.

In different Spanish-speaking countries, fine cookie crumbs go by various names, including: cookie crumbs, ground cookies, crushed cookies, or simply cookie "breadcrumbs" to refer to their use similar to traditional breadcrumbs, but made with sweet cookies.
