@cwolfman13 - I've never heard of Biscochitos before - I'm sure I'd love them too - I like licorice flavoring...do you have a good recipe?

@PAPYRUS3

They are a New Mexico thing and holiday tradition here, so most people outside of the state have never heard of them or tried them. Also the state cookie. For whatever reason they are stupid expensive to buy at the store...there really isn't anything to them to warrant the cost, so I started making my own a few years ago and they're super easy. I'm a good cook, but I'm horrible with baking and these are the only thing I do and I've never messed them up. I use this recipe...

Ha...that's the one I came upon when I searched on what they were. They do sound very simple to do - I'll have to try them. Thanks:))
