Sorry ladies, I did not get any responses in the cookie forum, so I thought I might get more exposure here.
Hi ladies, I am hoping someone can help me. I am from Texas and whenever I am home, I always have to have my favorite cookies. They sell them at the HEB bakery in Austin and also at Mexican bakeries. They are simple, nothing fancy, but so very good. They are round, and a bit chewy, thick and come in yellow, brown (chocolate) and pink. I kick myself for not taking a picture of them. I think they are called polvorones, but they are NOT the polvorones that I have been seeing on searches on the net. These are a bit chewy and the surface is a bit cracked. Sometimes sprinkled with sugar, not powdered sugar. They are not Mexican wedding cookies.
Oh please someone tell me they know what I am talking about? I don't want to wait another 2 years to have these cookies again. LOL. I'm feeling homesick and I think these will help.
I know what your talking about I love those things I don't have a recipe but if I come across one I'll PM you

Those are called Banderitas mexicanas (Mexican flags.) They are sugar cookies

Thank you so much! But that is not the cookie, BUT, I am so going to try them! I was drooling at the photo. Thanks to you I was able to find a photo of the cookie! If you scroll down on the page it is the galleta de chocolate. It also comes in pink and yellow. See how cracked the surface is? It is not soft, so I am fairly certain it has reg. sugar and possibly egg to make it on the chewy side.

I'm getting closer, thank you so much for your reply!
Woo-hoo! I am so thrilled. I will be baking these cookies today! Thank you so much. It's just the little things that help you endure living so far from home and these cookies will certainly help bring home a little closer.
Big hugs!
Diana
