History and Origins of Ecuadorian Thanksgiving Cookies
The Blend of Spanish and Indigenous Cultures
The history of Ecuadorian Thanksgiving cookies can be traced back to the colonial era when the Spanish arrived in South America. The Spanish brought with them their baking techniques and ingredients, such as wheat flour, sugar, and spices. These ingredients were then combined with traditional ingredients used by the indigenous people of Ecuador, such as corn, quinoa, and peanuts. This fusion of cultures resulted in the creation of unique and delicious cookies that are now a staple in Ecuadorian cuisine.
Significance of Ecuadorian Thanksgiving Cookies
In Ecuador, Thanksgiving is not a national holiday, but it is still celebrated by many families. These cookies are a symbol of gratitude and thankfulness, which are at the heart of Thanksgiving celebrations. They are often made with love and shared with friends and family, making them a sweet reminder of the importance of togetherness and appreciation.
The Recipe for Ecuadorian Thanksgiving Cookies
Ingredients:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup corn flour
1/2 cup quinoa flour
1/2 cup ground peanuts
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground cloves
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup milk
Instructions:
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, corn flour, quinoa flour, ground peanuts, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and salt.
In a separate bowl, cream the butter until it is light and fluffy. Then add in the egg, vanilla extract, and milk, and mix well.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until a dough forms.
