BISCOCHITOS - NEW MEXICO'S STATE COOKIE
If you like snickerdoodles, you will love these tasty treats! NOTES: Biscochitos are the state cookie of New Mexico for a good reason - they're simply delicious! They are easy and fun to make, especially at Christmas time, and they store well in a tin or cookie jar for at least 2 weeks (they've never lasted longer than that at my house!). The lard is a key ingredient, important in the texture and flavor of the final cookie, so please do not replace it with another type of fat!

- On greased baking sheets, bake for 13 to 15 minutes at 350 degrees F or until bottoms of cookies are lightly browned. Yield: about 50 small cookies.

- **The easiest way to do this is to put several balls/shapes and the cinnamon and sugar into a small tupperware container. Put the lid on and shake gently.
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.

BISCOCHITOS TRADITIONAL COOKIES
This is New Mexico's traditional cookie. A great thick sugar cookie that is dusted with cinnamon-sugar. The traditional shape is fleur-de-lis, but use your favorite cookie cutters if you like.

- In a medium bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk in the crushed anise and orange zest.
- In a separate large bowl, combine the sugar and lard. Then, using an electric mixer, beat the lard and sugar until light and fluffy - about 3 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla and beat to combine. Gradually beat in the flour mixture and stop as soon as mixture is combined. Dough will be crumbly and more like a pie crust dough and than a normal cookie dough (see picture in post above).
- Using your hands, work the dough into a ball, like you would a pie crust, incorporating all the loose pieces of flour mixture. Then, wrap in plastic and refrigerate dough for 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line baking sheet with parchment paper or silpat. In a small bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon for topping.
