Day of the Dead Cookies for your Ofrenda

Some of the sweetest things on an ofrenda are the ones they loved most. These Day of the Dead cookies are made for that place of honor: 80 Mexican Heritage cookies from our four-generation family recipe, paired with our Día de los Muertos Calavera card so you can write a few words to the ones who came before us. What’s inside Mexican Heritage Cookie Variety Tin: 80 cookies (Lunas, Stellas, and Valentinas) in our signature vintage-inspired tin Día de los Muertos Calavera card: skull imagery that stands for celebration, memory, and life after life, not fear Traditional Day of the Dead Cookies From Our Family Recipe Our cookies come from the Rio Grande Valley of South Texas. They carry the traditions of Mexican wedding cookies, biscochitos (some families call them bizcochos), polvorones, and pan de polvo, the crumbly, buttery cookies so many of us grew up with. Lunas: our classic powdered sugar cookie, tender and melt-in-your-mouth, with bits of toasted pecan that take you back to your abuela’s kitchen. Stellas: light and delicately spiced with warm cinnamon sugar. They’re like a Southwest biscochito, but without anise. Stellas are our only nut-free cookie. Valentinas: our heart-shaped cookie, slightly crisp and fragrant with freshly ground Mexican cinnamon and sugar. For Your Ofrenda Alongside photos, candles, cempasúchil, papel picado, water, and salt, families set out the foods their loved ones enjoyed. Place a few cookies on a plate beside the pan de muerto, tuck the card among the photos, and share the rest of the tin with everyone who comes to remember. A Remembrance Gift for Family Near and Far For someone who is grieving, or a family member setting up their first ofrenda without you there, this tin says what is hard to put into words. Write a memory or their loved one’s name inside the card. It is a gift that is opened, shared, and kept. Because remembering is a form of love. 80 cookies total | Lunas, Stellas, and Valentinas | Includes one Día de los Muertos card Contains nuts (Lunas and Valentinas). Stellas are nut-free.
