Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- Preheat the oven to 325 F.
- In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer to whip the vegetable shortening with the oil. Add the sugar and mix until smooth. Add the egg yolks, anisette, lemon peel, lemon juice, and cinnamon , and mix together.
- Add 7 of the cups flour, 1 cup at a time to the mixture, then add baking soda. Be sure to mix well. The dough should be smooth and soft.
- Using a teaspoon, scoop out a dollop of dough. Form balls about the size of walnuts using your hands. If the dough is too sticky to roll into balls, mix in additional flour (from 1/4 to 1/2 cup).
- Place balls onto an ungreased cookie sheet . Lightly press down on each ball to flatten slightly. Brush the beaten egg white on the top of each cookie. Bake cookies until they begin to turn light brown on the bottom edges, about 15 to 20 minutes.
- Let the cookies cool 5 minutes before removing from the cookie sheet, as they are very delicate. Sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon if desired.
- Enjoy.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350ºF (180ºC). Line an un-greased cookie sheet with parchment paper (optional). With a hand or stand mixer, cream butter and shortening until creamy and well combined (about 2 minutes). Add sugar and mix till creamy and fluffy (about 1 minute). Add the pinch of salt, vanilla and almond extract. Mix to combine. With mixer on medium-low, mix in the flour by ¼ cup. The mixture will look coarse and that's what we want! Take a tablespoon of the cookie dough and form it into a ball and place it on the cookie sheet. With your thumb, press on the cookie to flatten it slightly and create a little "well." Don't worry if they crack on the sides, they will turn out pretty. In the little well, drop a piece of guava or sprinkles. Bake in the oven for 10 to 12 minutes. After 10 minutes, check the cookies for doneness. The cookies will not brown on top, but the sides will get golden brown and that's what you want. Place them on a cooling rack for 5 to 10 minutes.
