How to Make Bizcochos Mexican Holiday Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Beat 1 cup of lard until light and creamy.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together ½ cup of wine or fruit juice, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon anise seeds.
- Add the wet ingredients to the creamed lard and mix well with a wooden spoon.
- Beat in 2 large egg yolks, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Gradually add 3-4 cups all-purpose flour, mixing until a soft dough forms. Add more flour if needed, but be careful not to over-mix.
- Roll out the dough to ½-inch thickness on a lightly floured surface.
- Use cookie cutters to cut out desired shapes. Place on a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden. Check frequently to prevent burning.
- While cookies are still warm, prepare the cinnamon-sugar topping: In a shallow dish, combine 1 cup granulated sugar and 4 teaspoons ground cinnamon.
- Gently dredge the warm cookies in the cinnamon-sugar mixture to coat.
