Mexican Wedding Cookies — also known as polvorones, pan de polvo, Russian tea cakes, or snowball cookies — are delicate, melt-in-your-mouth cookies dusted in powdered sugar. Romero Cookies are made from a 40-year family recipe, perfect for weddings, holidays, and everyday celebrations.

While they look similar, Romero Mexican Wedding Cookies are not biscochitos. They don’t contain anise and are not made with lard. We often hear regional debates about cookie names — try ours and you might prefer them!

Our founder grew up in her family’s bakery, Celebrity Cake Shop, in McAllen, Texas. Romero Cookies continues that legacy with a modern twist on a family recipe. Read our story.

For the longest shelf life, store your cookies at room temperature in our custom tins. They’ll stay fresh for 90 days without the need for refrigeration, freezing, or reheating.

Each cookie is carefully packaged to arrive fresh and whole. Our bite-size cookies go into custom tins, which are then placed inside branded boxes with foam liners for protection. Many customers keep them in the tin until serving — or flip the tin to create a cookie tower centerpiece.

At checkout, you can select your preferred delivery date — up to 180 days in advance. While we try to hit that date, shipping relies on third-party carriers. To be safe, schedule your cookies to arrive 1–2 days before your event.

Because we use third-party shippers, delivery dates are not guaranteed. That said, we make every effort to get your cookies to you on time. For special events, we recommend choosing a delivery window 1–2 days early.

Orders scheduled to be delivered within 5 days are final. If you notice an error, email support@romerocookies.com and we’ll do our best to assist, though changes are not guaranteed.

Not at all! While they began as a wedding tradition, Mexican Wedding Cookies are now enjoyed at birthdays, holidays, anniversaries, and everyday gatherings. They also make thoughtful gifts for teachers, coworkers, and family.
