The Rich Heritage of Biscochitos
A 400-Year Tradition
Biscochitos have been a beloved tradition in New Mexico for over 400 years, brought by Spanish settlers and perfected by generations of New Mexican families. In 1989, they became the official state cookie of New Mexico.
More Than Just Cookies
These delicate, anise-flavored cookies represent family, tradition, and heritage. They're traditionally made during Christmas and special celebrations, bringing families together in the kitchen to share stories and create memories.
The Secret Ingredients
What makes biscochitos unique is the use of lard (for authentic texture) and anise seeds, which give them their distinctive flavor. Every New Mexican family has their own special variation passed down through generations.
