Torticas de Morón a la Manny
Wednesday, July 11, 2012 at 5:33 PM Torticas de Morón are a short bread cookie originally from the city of Morón in central Cuba, in the province of Camaguey. This was from way back before Castro's revolution, so no, not in any way a result of Castro's influence. Nothing good has come from that man any way. Don't get me started! ;-)
It seems like this cookie was what put Morón on the map, and I've never met any Cuban that doesn't like them. This one is not authentic since I give it my own twist with cream cheese and guava. And that little sprinkle of sea salt on top, suggested by my friend Kristen B, makes it very unauthentically yummy.
The idea came to us from a request made by an editor at Saveur, so look for the recipe on their website this coming holiday season. I'l keep y'all posted when that happens.
Recipe tested and baked by the illustrious Jennie Kelley! Propping and styling by Kristen Dale Butler. Tasting by Manny R.

Congratulations! I'm glad that you won, because you truly are an artist! I'm so inspired looking at your work. I want to be where you are, I am 20 years old and I really want to start a food blog. I just don't know where to start or should I say how to start. I'm so passionate about this and I know this is what I am called in life to do. I since I got my first digital camera in the 8th grade, I would always photograph food. I have been doing it ever since, I haven't made enough money to buy a really good camera, so I am taking pictures with my phone. Is there any advice you could give me? I live in Texas and I am always trying new foods!
