Uraró

Uraró are traditional Filipino cookies originating from the Tagalog people of southern Luzon. The cookies are traditionally made with arrowroot flour, duck egg yolks, milk, rendered lard, and sugar. Once prepared, the mixture is baked in a traditional Filipino clay oven called a pugon, and the resulting cookies should have a melt-in-the-mouth quality, as well as milky and buttery flavors.


However, the modern versions of uraró are made with a combination of margarine or butter, arrowroot flour, milk, sugar, and eggs. If desired, the cookies can be enriched with the addition of maple syrup or coconut cream. They are commonly stacked in cylinders and sold wrapped in colored crepe paper.


The name of these cookies is derived from uraró or araró, a Tagalog and Spanish name for the maranta arrowroot.
