New Mexico Biscochos Recipe - Food.com image

A melt in your mouth shortbread style cinnamon cookie. It is made traditionally for the Christmas season in New Mexico households. I obtained this recipe from a friend, Namoi, who was born and raised in NM.

Total Time 30 minutes

Prep Time 30 minutes

Yield 120 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
3 teaspoons baking powder
2 cups lard, do not substitute Crisco (mantecca)
12 tablespoons sugar
12 tablespoons orange juice or 12 tablespoons fruity wine

  • Add the egg yolks, cinnamon, anise extract and juice/wine. Mix till incorporated.
  • Add flour mixture to lard mixture and mix well.
  • Roll dough out onto floured counter top to 1/2" thickness. I work half the dough half at a time, rolling into a large square. Cutting into strips about 1 inch wide, then cut those strips into 2" cookies. (A ruler works great!).
  • Place cookies on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake at 400°F for about 8-10 minutes.
  • While cookies are warm roll them in cinnamon sugar.
