Time 1h15m

Yield about 48 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup vegetable shortening
2/3 cup plus 1/2 cup sugar
1 large egg
2 to 4 tablespoons red wine, brandy or sherry
1 to 1 1/2 teaspoons crushed anise seeds
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Whisk the flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl.
  • Beat the shortening in a stand mixer with the paddle attachment on medium-high speed until fluffy. Reduce the mixer speed to low; beat in 2/3 cup sugar, then the egg. Add 2 tablespoons wine and the anise seeds and beat until combined. Gradually beat in the flour mixture. If the dough is too dry, mix in up to 2 more tablespoons wine. Cover and refrigerate 15 minutes.
  • Mix the remaining 1/2 cup sugar and the cinnamon in a shallow bowl. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to 1/4 inch thick. Cut out cookies with a 2 1/2-inch cookie cutter. Press the top of each cookie in the cinnamon sugar to coat, then arrange on the prepared baking sheets, about 1 inch apart. Bake until the edges are golden, 10 to 15 minutes. Let cool about 3 minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer the cookies to racks to cool completely. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my bizcochitos came out flat. They didn't rise at all.

These were a bit too dry for my liking. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

My bizcochitos came out a little dry. I think I may have overbaked them. But the flavor was still good.
