BISCOCHITOS
Biscochitos are traditional New Mexican cookies and are also the official state cookie. They are anise cookies, typically sprinkled or dipped in a comination of sugar and cinnamon. This is my grandmother's recipe and still my absolute favorite biscochito recipe. I believe this recipe is definitely the best. This recipe is typically made with lard-- some recipes use vegetable shortening, but lard helps give it that "melt in your mouth" texture. My grandma also suggests using a cheap white wine-- she used to use my grandpa's white wine from the grapes he grew. I tend to like my cookies a little on the sweeter side, so I use a sweet white wine like a Riesling. Another thing she told me is to crush the anise seeds to help release the flavor-- it also helps so that you're not picking anise seeds out of your teeth too!! Also, some people like their biscochitos thick, so experiement with the thickness and decide the thickness you prefer. I like mine very thin, about 1/8 inch thick. And I also dip them in the cinnamon/sugar mixture before I put them in the oven and then again right after they come out of the oven-- this will use much more cinnamon and sugar than the recipe calls for. Like I said, I prefer them a little sweeter!!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Sift flour with baking powder and salt.
- In a separate bowl, cream lard with sugar and freshly ground anise seeds until fluffy. (This is a very important step! You want a lot of air incorporated into the lard because it helps make the cookies lighter.).
- Beat in eggs one at a time.
- Mix in flour mixture and white wine until well blended.
- Refrigerate 1-2 hours.
- Turn dough out on a floured surface and roll out desire thickness (I usually like it between 1/8-1/4 of an inch thick).
- Cut into shapes.
- Mix the 1/2 cup sugar and 2 tbsp of cinnamon in a small bowl.
- Dip tops of the cut out cookies in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
- Bake 10-12 minutes or until edges turn a golden color.
- Remove from oven and immediately dip cookies again in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
- Place cookies on cooling sheet and allow to cool completely. (If you try to eat them while they're still warm, they will taste like lard-- not fun!).
- Variation: You can also "paint" the cookies with a mixture of 1/2 cup heavy cream or evaporated milk and food coloring (red or green). With a paint brush, put a heavy coat on top of cut out cookies (for this variation, it's usually the shape of a chile/chili). Sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar, then bake for 10-12 minutes.

These are one of my son's favorites. He requests them every Christmas. Great anise-tasting butter cookie. You won't be able to tell there's no wheat. Free of peanuts and nuts too so it's a nice change for kids on restricted diets.

BISCOCHITOS
Biscochitos are the state cookie of New Mexico. They traditionally use lard, but in this version from Wayne Harley Brachman's Cakes and Cowpokes, they are made with butter. I made this to serve at a Posada Celebration in the shape of stars - beautiful and delicious! (Chilling and rolling times are included in the preparation time).

Steps:
- Put the flour, 3/4 cup of the sugar, the baking powder, salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of the anise in a large bowl and whisk to blend.
- In a small bowl, cut the butter into pea-sized pieces.
- Using a pastry blender or your fingertips, work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse meal.
- Add the egg yolk, vanilla, and ice water and mix with your fingers just until the dough comes together into a ball.
- Working on a lightly floured surface, take egg-sized pieces of the dough and smear them away from you with the heel of your hand into 6-inch streaks. (This step helps to achieve the layered texture of the authentic cookie without using lard).
- Scrape up all the streaks of dough and pile them on top of one another to form a disk.
- Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
- On a portable (this will be refrigerated again), lightly floured surface, roll the dough to a thickness of 1/4 inch.
- Refrigerate for 30 miutes, or until firm.
- Set a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 375°F.
- Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or use a non-stick cookie sheet.
- With a cookie cutter, cut out 2 1/2-inch circles (I use stars), and place them on the cookie sheets about 2-inches apart.
- Chill the cookies 10 minutes before baking.
- Reroll the scraps of dough and cut out more cookies, chilling before baking.
- Meanwhile, mix the remaining 1 Tablespoon ground anise and 2 Tablespoon sugar together in a small bowl.
- Sprinkle a thin layer of the sugar mixture over the cookies.
- Bake for 10 minutes, or until lightly browned around the edges.
- Cool on the pan on a wire rack.
- May be store at room temperature, well-wrapped, for up to 5 days.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Whisk the flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl.
- Beat the shortening in a stand mixer with the paddle attachment on medium-high speed until fluffy. Reduce the mixer speed to low; beat in 2/3 cup sugar, then the egg.

Cover and refrigerate 15 minutes.
- Mix the remaining 1/2 cup sugar and the cinnamon in a shallow bowl. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to 1/4 inch thick. Cut out cookies with a 2 1/2-inch cookie cutter. Press the top of each cookie in the cinnamon sugar to coat, then arrange on the prepared baking sheets, about 1 inch apart. Bake until the edges are golden, 10 to 15 minutes. Let cool about 3 minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer the cookies to racks to cool completely. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
