They are made by mixing flour, eggs, sugar, and butter to form a dough, which is then rolled out, cut into shapes, and fried until crispy.

Once the coscorões are fried, they are traditionally dusted with powdered sugar or cinnamon and sugar. Some variations may also include adding brandy or wine to the dough mixture, giving the coscorões a unique flavor.

Coscorões are a popular dessert in Portugal and are often served during holiday gatherings and family celebrations. They can also be found in bakeries and cafes throughout the country during the Christmas season.
