Biscochitos Mexican Christmas Cookie
Biscocitos
Diane Porras of Osito's Biscochitos hopes that when people sink their teeth into one of her delicate diamond-shaped cookies, they taste a bit of tradition and nostalgia in each sweet, cinnamon-coated bite.
"It fills my heart when I hear people say that these cookies take them back to their youth, Porras said. People tell me; These are just the way my grandmother made them. It makes it all worthwhile."
Biscochitos, a shortbread cookie called " Biscochito" in the northern part of the state, are the S tate C ookie of New Mexico. Porras said that many families put their own unique spin on their biscochitos, which are sometimes sprinkled with powdered sugar and referred to as "wedding cookies."
Most biscochitos are made with sugar, cinnamon and anise. Recipes for the cookie, and the technique for making them are often handed down from one generation to another.
It is not an easy cookie to make, she said. "It is like bread or tortillas . You have to have a feel for the dough". Porras has been making biscochitos since childhood when she would make the tasty little cookies with her mother and her aunt.
"As a young girl growing up in Las Cruces, my four other siblings and I would volunteer to help mom make them", she said. Once she started making them, we would see how much work was involved in making them. So, once the first batch was cooked and sugared, we would have our fill of freshly baked biscochitos and then we would leave her with the hard part.
She would spend the whole day in the kitchen, and the smell would drive us crazy. We would eat some and go outside and play. They were very delicious.
