Biscochitos - Traditional Mexican Christmas Cookies

Recipe from Allrecipes.com

These cinnamon-sugar cookies are a favorite Christmas treat.

Ingredients
  • 6 Cup(s) All-Purpose Flour

  • 1 Tablespoon Baking Powder

  • 1/4 Teaspoon Salt

  • 2 Cup(s) Lard

  • 1 1/2 Cup(s) White Sugar

  • 2 Teaspoon Anise Seed

  • 2 Whole Eggs

  • 1/4 Cup Brandy

  • 1/4 Cup White Sugar

  • 1 Tablespoon Ground Cinnamon

Steps
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Sift the flour, baking powder and salt into a bowl, and set aside.

  • In a large bowl, cream together the lard and 1 1/2 cups sugar until smooth. Mix in the anise seed, and beat until fluffy. Stir in the eggs one at a time. Add the sifted ingredients and brandy, and stir until well blended.

  • On a floured surface, roll the dough out to 1/2 or 1/4 inch thickness, and cut into desired shapes using cookie cutters. The traditional is fleur-de-lis. Place cookies onto baking sheets. Mix together the 1/4 cup of sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle over the tops of the cookies.

  • Bake for 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the bottoms are lightly browned.
