My mom makes biscochos every Christmas – It doesn’t feel like Christmas without them. When I was a little girl I used to help my mom package them for family and friends. These fragile cookies melt in your mouth and contain the exotic addition of anise with a hint of cinnamon. They are a Mexican tradition for weddings, quinceñeras, and Navidad. My mom used to roll out the dough and then we’d carefully cut the dough into diamond shapes using a paring knife. Today she uses a cookie press, which makes for a lighter cookie. Either way they are delicioso and just as beautiful to display, as they are scrumptious.
