BISCOCHITOS TRADITIONAL COOKIES
This is New Mexico's traditional cookie. A great thick sugar cookie that is dusted with cinnamon-sugar. The traditional shape is fleur-de-lis, but use your favorite cookie cutters if you like.

GF BISCOCHITOS
These are one of my son's favorites. He requests them every Christmas. Great anise-tasting butter cookie. You won't be able to tell there's no wheat. Free of peanuts and nuts too so it's a nice change for kids on restricted diets.
