About Biscochitos
Biscochitos are traditional cookies originating from New Mexico, celebrated for their distinct flavor and crumbly texture. Made with ingredients like flour, sugar, lard, anise seeds, and cinnamon, they are often shaped into festive patterns and enjoyed during holidays and special occasions. As the official state cookie of New Mexico, biscochitos highlight Spanish culinary influences combined with regional traditions. While their rich taste and cultural significance make them a beloved treat, biscochitos are high in saturated fat due to the use of lard and contain added sugar, which should be consumed in moderation. On the positive side, the inclusion of anise seeds provides trace amounts of beneficial antioxidants. Perfect for indulging on rare occasions, biscochitos offer a flavorful link to Southwestern heritage and a sweet way to celebrate community and tradition.
