Cómo hacer Pepas

Por qué empezar aquí

Pepas are short cookies with a thumbprint of quince, the after-school biscuit. The dough is sandy; the membrillo is the jewel.

Pepas are a beloved treat in Argentina, often enjoyed as an after-school snack by children rushing home with tales of the day. These short cookies, with their thumbprint of quince jam, capture the essence of simplicity and indulgence. Originating from the need to create something quick yet delightful, they have become a staple in Argentinian households, bringing a touch of sweetness to everyday life. The sandy texture of the dough crumbles delicately in your mouth, harmonizing perfectly with the slightly tart and fruity burst of dulce de membrillo nestled at its center. Pepas offer a balance of buttery richness and the vibrant flavor of quince, creating a small yet satisfying bite that stands out on any plate.
