Do you say biscochos or biscochitos? Either way, this iconic treat is the official state cookie of New Mexico and a cherished tradition for many Las Crucens, especially around the holidays. 🍪
Here's how to make your own:
1️⃣ Sift 3 cups flour, 1 1/2 tsp baking powder, 1 tsp anise, and 1/2 tsp salt.
2️⃣ In separate bowl, beat 1/2 lb lard in electric mixer, gradually adding 1/2 cup sugar, until fluffy and white.
3️⃣ Add 1 egg, 2 tbsp white wine, brandy, rum, or apple juice. Continue beating.
4️⃣ Slowly add in dry ingredients from step 1, mixing after each 1/3.
5️⃣ Chill dough for 15 minutes, preheat oven to 350.
6️⃣ Roll out dough 1/4 inch thick on floured surface, cut into desired shape, transfer to ungreased cooking sheet.
7️⃣ Bake 10-12 minutes, until pale golden. During baking, mix together 1/4 cup sugar and 3/4 tbsp cinnamon for topping.
8️⃣ When done baking, gently add topping and set aside to cool.
