Today I am cooking at home and making biscochitos. This is a popular traditional cookie in New Mexico. The combination of ingredients is aromatic and flavorful. The texture is flaky and melts in your mouth.
Ingredients
1 cup (190 g) lard, shortening, or butter (softened)
3/4 cup (150 g ) sugar
1 large egg (room temperature)
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2 Tbsp (30 ml) brandy
2 tsp orange zest
1 tsp crushed anise seeds
3 cups (390 g) all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp fine salt
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup of sugar mixed with 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
Bake at 350 F / 176 C for 12 to 13 minutes
