Paciencia, also known as Filipino meringue galyetas or galletas paciencia, are Filipino cookies made with beaten egg whites, flour, and calamansi. They are typically a smooth flattened hemispherical shape. Paciencia means "patience" in Spanish, from which the Tagalog word for "patience" (pasensya) and, consequently, an alternative name for the cookie (pacencia) derives. The cookies are traditionally eaten during the Christmas Season.[1] [2] [3] [4]
