Coricos are Mexican cookies made out of corn flour. They are really, really good and super easy to make! You can't mess it up with this recipe. When I was 8 my aunt taught me how to make them. They are a soft and sweet, traditional Mexican dessert originally baked in Sonora.

Steps:
- Beat shortening and sugar together in a large bowl using an electric mixer until creamy. Add eggs, orange zest, and vanilla extract.
- Combine corn flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and flour in another bowl. Stir and add 1/2 of the mixture to the shortening mixture. Beat on low speed until combined. Add the remaining flour mixture and knead with your hands until dough is combined.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Roll a small portion of the dough into a thin log; pinch ends together to form a small ring. Place on a baking sheet. Repeat with the rest of the dough. Place coricos as closely together on the baking sheets as you like; they do not spread.
- Bake in the preheated oven until coricos are golden brown all over, about 45 minutes. Remove and let cool.
