The bizcochito (also spelt biscochito) is a crisp butter cookie made with lard and flavoured with sugar, cinnamon and anise. The dough is rolled thin and cut into shapes including the fleur-de-lis, a cross, a star and a circle for the moon. It was developed in New Mexico over centuries from the first Spanish colonists. It can be found all year but is a Christmas tradition.
