Maruxas are organic, artisanal cream biscuits made in Galicia. They can be found primarily in Galicia and, increasingly, in other parts of Spain, especially in specialty shops and gourmet stores. In this recipe, with all due respect to this delicious commercial product, we'll try to easily recreate them at home.

To make our homemade maruxas, we'll use just three ingredients, just like the originals: high-fat cream, wheat flour—ideally Galician wheat, although this can be difficult to find in some areas—and brown cane sugar. With these ingredients and the step-by-step instructions below, we'll achieve a very good result.

To make them, simply whisk the cream and sugar together, then add the flour to obtain a thick dough. Chill this dough in the refrigerator to make it easier to handle. Next, take small portions with your hands and arrange them in mounds on the baking sheet. There's no need to round or flatten them; the heat of baking will help them hold their shape. In fact, just like the original cookies, their charm lies in the fact that each one is unique .

Cream maruxas are perfect to serve with afternoon coffee and are ideal to have in a tin ready to eat.
