Christmas cookies are a delicious classic that have accompanied year-end celebrations in many Latin American countries. Their origin dates back to European traditions, where special Christmas desserts played a central role in the festivities. In Mexico, for example, they are commonly known as "Christmas cookies," while in countries like Argentina or Chile they are also similarly named. However, in some parts of Central America, these treats are known as "Christmas biscuits" or simply "festive cookies." Each region has adapted the recipe according to local ingredients and family customs, resulting in this preparation having multiple variants across the continent.
These cookies not only represent an exquisite flavor but also symbolize family unity and the joy of sharing during special times. Their simple preparation and the possibility of decorating them according to each person's creativity make them perfect to prepare with children, creating unforgettable moments.
