Biscochitos are New Mexico’s State Cookies. Biscochitos are similar to shortbread, or butter cookies, but with their own unique flavor twist: crushed anise seeds, as well as a hint of orange and cinnamon. They are covered in cinnamon sugar, and practically melt in your mouth.  The key is using lard and not butter or vegetable shorting. - Dawnelle, LEDVANCE
