Ingredients:

  • 6 cups flour
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 cups lard
  • 1/4 cup white wine
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 tbsp cinnamon

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Sift flour with baking powder and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, cream lard with sugar and freshly ground anise seeds until fluffy. (This is a very important step! You want a lot of air incorporated into the lard because it helps make the cookies lighter.).
  4. Beat in eggs one at a time.
  5. Mix in flour mixture and white wine until well blended.
  6. Refrigerate 1-2 hours.
  7. Turn dough out on a floured surface and roll out desire thickness (I usually like it between 1/8-1/4 of an inch thick).
  8. Cut into shapes.
  9. Mix the 1/2 cup sugar and 2 tbsp of cinnamon in a small bowl.
  10. Dip tops of the cut out cookies in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  11. Bake 10-12 minutes or until edges turn a golden color.
  12. Remove from oven and immediately dip cookies again in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  13. Place cookies on cooling sheet and allow to cool completely. (If you try to eat them while they're still warm, they will taste like lard- not fun!).
  14. Variation: You can also paint the cookies with a mixture of 1/2 cup heavy cream or evaporated milk and food coloring (red or green). With a paint brush, put a heavy coat on top of cut out cookies (for this variation, it's usually the shape of a chile/chili). Sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar, then bake for 10-12 minutes.
