Biscochitos- a Cut Out Sugar Cookie
INGREDIENTS:
1 c Sugar
1 c Butter
3 tb Sweet sherry
1 Egg
3 c Flour
2 ts Baking powder
2 ts Anise seed crushed or 1 tsp.
Anise oil or flavoring
1/4 ts Salt
1/4 c Sugar
1 ts Cinnamon
1 c Sugar
1 c Butter
3 tb Sweet sherry
1 Egg
3 c Flour
2 ts Baking powder
2 ts Anise seed crushed or 1 tsp.
Anise oil or flavoring
1/4 ts Salt
1/4 c Sugar
1 ts Cinnamon
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Mix sugar & margarine, sherry & egg in a large bowl. Stir in the remaining ingredients except the 1/4 cup sugar & the cinnamon. Divide dough into two balls. Roll out each ball to 1/4" thick & cut into any shape with cookie cutters. Place on ungreased sheet. Mix together the sugar & cinnamon & sprinkle on the cookies before baking. Bake 10-12 minutes until golden.
These cookies are cute made into a cactus shape. Pinch off balls of dough, one larger than a quarter & 2 the size of a nickel. Roll each of the balls between your palms to make cigar shape. Flatten the large one to make the main stem of the cactus. Bend one third of each of the two smaller ones to make a J shape & attach them at uneven intervals on each side to make the "arms". Flatten them to match the trunk & bake.
