A melt in your mouth shortbread style cinnamon cookie. It is made traditionally for the Christmas season in New Mexico households. I obtained this recipe from a friend, Namoi, who was born and raised in NM.

Steps:
- Sift flour, baking powder and salt together in large bowl, set aside.
- In mixer bowl beat the lard and sugar together until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg yolks, cinnamon, anise extract and juice/wine. Mix till incorporated.
- Add flour mixture to lard mixture and mix well.
- Roll dough out onto floured counter top to 1/2" thickness. I work half the dough half at a time, rolling into a large square. Cutting into strips about 1 inch wide, then cut those strips into 2" cookies. (A ruler works great!).
- Place cookies on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake at 400°F for about 8-10 minutes.
- While cookies are warm roll them in cinnamon sugar.
