BISCOCHITOS - NEW MEXICO'S STATE COOKIE
If you like snickerdoodles, you will love these tasty treats! NOTES: Biscochitos are the state cookie of New Mexico for a good reason - they're simply delicious! They are easy and fun to make, especially at Christmas time, and they store well in a tin or cookie jar for at least 2 weeks (they've never lasted longer than that at my house!). The lard is a key ingredient, important in the texture and flavor of the final cookie, so please do not replace it with another type of fat!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Sift flour with baking powder and salt.
- In a separate bowl, using an electric mixer on medium speed, cream lard with sugar and anise seeds until fluffy.
- Beat in egg until incorporated.
- On low speed, add milk and flour mixture to lard mixture until incorporated.
- Turn dough out on lightly floured board, knead gently to form a ball, then press to 1/4 inch thickness.
- Cut into shapes OR roll into balls (~1 inch in size).*.
- Toss shapes in cinnamon and sugar topping.**.
- On greased baking sheets, bake for 13 to 15 minutes at 350 degrees F or until bottoms of cookies are lightly browned. Yield: about 50 small cookies.
- *If you roll them into balls, be sure to press them down slightly with a fork after positioning them onto baking sheets.
- **The easiest way to do this is to put several balls/shapes and the cinnamon and sugar into a small tupperware container. Put the lid on and shake gently.
