These delicious cookies are thick and sugary with a consistency rather like shortbread. They are traditionally made in a fleur-de-lis shape but you can make them any shape you like. The biscochitos recipe originated in Spain and these cookies were introduced to Mexico by the Spanish.
They are very popular and often served as an accompaniment to wine. The traditional biscochitos recipe calls for lard rather than shortening but you can use whichever you prefer. Biscochitos are eaten over the holidays and on special occasions but they make a great sweet snack at any time.

Traditional Biscochito Christmas Cookie
Biscochito dough is made with crushed anise seeds, as well as a hint of orange and cinnamon, which gives them a very unique flavor. They are very similar to shortbread and sugar cookies. Biscochitos are served during wedding receptions, baptisms, religious holidays, and especially during the Christmas season. I hope you enjoy them as much as we do.
