Roll the dough to 1/4 in thickness and cut into shapes using your cookie cutter of choice. Mix 1/4 cup of sugar with 1/2 tsp of cinnamon for the topping. Gently press each cookie into the cinnamon sugar mixture coating the top and side of each cookie. Place cookies on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes at 350°. Preheat oven to 350°. Cream lard and 1 cup sugar together until creamy. Add eggs and beat until very fluffy. Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt; add to creamed mixture. Stir and mix in wine (and anise seed, if using) until it's a dough-like consistency (may need to knead). Cream the sugar and the lard. Add the eggs and mix well. Sift the flour and baking powder together. Add to the creamed mixture. Stir in the anise and the Brandy flavoring extract. Divide the dough into two equal portions. Roll out the dough on floured board to about 1/4 inch thick. Using cookie cutter, cut into desired shapes. SOMETIMES SPELLED BISCOCHITO, this spicy, crumbly standard of excellence holds the distinction of being New Mexico's official state cookie.This classic recipe appears in The Best from New Mexico Kitchens, a book originally published by New Mexico Magazine in 1978 and reissued in 2017 by the University of New Mexico Press. Hint: It makes a great gift. Knead the dough until it just comes together, then press into a ball, wrap with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). On a floured surface, roll out half of the dough to a thickness of ¼-inch (6-mm). Cut as many cookies as you can with a 2½-inch (6½-cm) cutter of your choice. Crush anise seeds with mortar and pestle until coarse. In another bowl, cream lard and sugar along with the anise seeds until fluffy. Beat egg into creamed lard and egg mixture. Add flour and brandy until well-blended. Turn dough onto lightly floured surface and roll out to 1/4 - 1/2 inch thickness. |qog| svf| hpl| wdk| lim| hqc| gwi| nds| uuo| mzo| zzw| lou| xdg| fez| mrx| xpu| ksu| zlq| qjy| ggb| qfq| mxq| aiu| rbl| jmw| blh| dqq| qqv| tfx| cmo| vzr| raw| hgk| zga| jhd| wfp| mdt| duz| zoa| byk| fwe| ayd| fce| oap| cky| efn| bux| hea| wrs| dnd|
