Hojarascas are a tradition in my family. Whether it be a family celebration or the holidays, someone will always make hojarascas. These Mexican shortbread cookies have a delicate texure and melt in your mouth. They are coated in a cinnamon sugar dredge and make a perfect homemade treat. Ingredients 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour 1 tsp salt 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon 1/4 tsp ground anise 3/4 cup sugar 8 oz lard or shortening 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract Dredge 1 1 /2 cup sugar 1 tsp ground cinnamon pinch of salt

Good recipe. Was given by a customer a recipe handed down by her great great grandmother. A authentic Polvoron cookie made with lard. That's what give that authentic flavor with little bit of anise. but I'll go ahead n try your recipe. They look delicious with a nice hot cup of Mexican chocolate!

Thank You Angelica! I've been looking for a recipe for Pan de Polvo for the longest time. My grandmother would make this every Christmas. After she died, I was unable to find her recipe. All I remembered was that she used a tea of anise and about 2-cups of flour. I don't remember if butter or lard.

I just happened to have a new jar of leaf lard (pork) and never used it for baking, so we are literally whipping these up RIGHT NOW. I didnt have anise seeds for cooking but did have some from an noGMO herb planting kit and am grounding them. I'll write back w the results. So excited. Thanks

I love this recipe. Have you ever made these with masa harina? I am looking for an very old masa harina cookie that was similar to this one. I hope you answer.

This cookie recipe should come with a warning! I ve given them as gifts and people have told me they can t stop eating them!

Filipinos make a similar cookie. You have to be very gentle and put the whole thing in your mouth if not it turns to dust!
