Ingredients

  • 1 cup Lard or butter vegetable oil can also be used but the cookie won't be as crisp and flaky
  • 1 ½ cups sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • ¼ cup Tequila or warm water
  • 1 ½ teaspoon anise seeds
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 ½ cups unbleached flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder

Cinnamon Sugar

  • ½ cup Sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cinnamon

Instructions

  • In a stand mixer cream together, sugar and lard, add eggs one at a time until mix is light and creamy.  Add tequila, vanilla and anise seeds, mix thoroughly, add flour and baking powder and mix on slow speed until dough comes away from the sides of the bowl. Add a little more tequila if dough is dry.  Wrap dough in plastic and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • On a lightly floured surface roll dough to ½ think and cut out with shaped cookie cutters, bake in a 375 degree oven for 15-18 minutes until edges are slightly browned.  Remove from oven and quickly roll in cinnamon sugar while they are still hot from the oven.
