Directions:
Preheat oven to 350º.

Combine flour, baking powder, and salt.

Cream shortening with sugar and anise seed. Beat eggs until fluffy and add to shortening. Add flour mixture and brandy; mix until well blended. Use enough brandy or orange juice to form a stiff dough.

Knead dough slightly and roll out to ¼ to ½ inch thickness. Cut into fancy shapes.

Dust each cookie with the cinnamon-sugar topping or decorate with sprinkles.

Bake for 10 minutes or until lightly browned.
Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
Bizcochitos are the New Mexico state cookie, and the official Walton family Christmas cookie! You can go the classic route by using the cinnamon-sugar topping, or stick with our family tradition of adding a ridiculous amount of sprinkles. You choose!
