Bizcochito

The bizcochito or biscochito (diminutive of the Spanish bizcocho) is a New Mexican crisp butter cookie made with lard, flavored with sugar, cinnamon, and anise. The dough is rolled thin and cut into various shapes; a circle (symbolizing the moon) is the simplest, but fleurs-de-lis, Christian crosses, hearts or star shapes are also common.
