    accurate recipe, bad directions

    Rated: 4 stars out of 5
    The directions on this recipe are incorrect. If you add all the sugar in the recipe, then the cookies will be too sweet. ... One cup of the sugar and the cinnamon in the recipe are for dusting the cookies one they are cooked. Also, try using light rum or orange juice instead of wine at half the amount. It makes the cookie a little more melt in your mouth. Read more

    good taste, but they should melt in your mouth

    Rated: 3 stars out of 5
    The flavor was great but I prefer a flakier cookie. I found that by adding at least another 1/2 lb of lard and removing the... baking powder and adding a teaspoon of baking soda the cookies then melt in your mouth!Read more

    ok but not a true New Mexico Bischochito

    Rated: 3 stars out of 5
    this were alright but to sweet.. as a life long New Mexican this were not a true biscochito. There are a variety of recipes... using wines, rums, brandies, vanilla extract. But definitely use 1/2 cup to 3/4 of a cup less sugar.Read more

    good... but moms recipe is better

    Rated: 3 stars out of 5
    I made these only because I lost my Moms recipe then found it later on. These were too sweet for me, you can omit the table... wine and some of the sugar. I am a Native New Mexican from Albuquerque and have tasted many biscochitos over the coarse of 42 years, these were just ok for me. There are many variations of this recipe so finding one you like is a matter of trial and error.Read more

    good but not the real thing

    Rated: 3 stars out of 5
    This was a lovely tender crisp cookie, but according to my husband who grew up in New Mexico, these were too sweet. The kids... however, loved them. The whole batch was gone in a day.Read more
