Often enjoyed during the holiday season, these cookies can be shaped into various forms and are sometimes sprinkled with sugar or coated with a delightful glaze for added sweetness. They make for a perfect treat to share with family and friends, as well as a tasty accompaniment to festive gatherings.

Cooking Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will guarantee that your biscochos bake evenly.
2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground anise, and salt until fully combined. Set this mixture aside.
3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar together with an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy. This should take about 3-5 minutes.
4. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Gradually add the beaten eggs and vanilla extract to the butter and sugar mixture, continuing to beat until fully incorporated.
5. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Slowly add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. If the dough is too dry, add 1-2 tablespoons of milk to help bring it together.
6. Shape the Cookies: Lightly flour your hands and take small amounts of the dough to roll them into balls about 1 inch in diameter. You can also shape them into crescent or oval forms, if preferred.
7. Roll in Sugar: Roll each cookie ball in granulated sugar to coat them lightly. This adds a delightful sweetness and a bit of sparkle to your cookies.
8. Bake: Place the coated cookies on an ungreased baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
9. Cool the Cookies: Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Enjoy: Once cooled, your biscochos are ready to be enjoyed! Store any leftovers in an airtight container and savor them throughout the holiday season.

Romeritos

Romeritos are a traditional Mexican dish commonly served during the Christmas season, especially on Christmas Eve (Nochebuena). This unique preparation consists of a type of wild green known as “romeritos” (which translates to rosemary in Spanish), typically cooked with a rich mole sauce, potatoes, and shrimp. The combination of flavors creates a deliciously savory and festive meal that is cherished by many families across Mexico.

Cooking Instructions:

1. Prepare the Potatoes: Peel the potatoes and cut them into small cubes. Boil them in a pot of salted water for about 10-15 minutes or until fork-tender. Drain and set aside.
2. Rinse the Romeritos: If using fresh romeritos, rinse them thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt. Trim the stems, and set aside. If using spinach, rinse and set aside.
3. Prepare the Shrimp: Rinse the dried shrimp under warm water to soften them. Drain and chop them coarsely.
4. Sauté Aromatics: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing for about 2-3 minutes until they become fragrant and translucent.
5. Add Romeritos: Stir in the prepared romeritos (or spinach) into the skillet with the sautéed onion and garlic. Cook for about 5 minutes until they begin to wilt.
6. Incorporate Potatoes and Shrimp: Add the boiled potatoes and chopped dried shrimp into the skillet. Stir to combine the ingredients evenly.
7. Add Mole Sauce: Pour in the mole sauce, mixing it with the other ingredients. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until everything is heated through and well combined. Adjust seasoning with additional salt if necessary.
8. Serve: Spoon the romeritos mixture onto serving plates and garnish with crumbled fresh cheese and chopped cilantro, if desired.

Empanadas De Dulce

Empanadas de Dulce are delightful sweet stuffed pastries popular during the Christmas season in Mexico. These treats are typically filled with a variety of sweet fillings such as fruit jams or sweetened pumpkin, and are often enjoyed as a festive dessert or snack. With their flaky exterior and sugary fillings, they are a favorite among both children and adults alike.

Cooking Instructions:

1. Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Mix well to incorporate the dry ingredients. Add the softened butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. In a separate bowl, beat the egg and combine it with the milk. Pour this liquid mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour.
2. Knead and Chill: Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead it gently for a couple of minutes until it becomes smooth. Form it into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for about 30 minutes to allow it to firm up.
3. Preheat the Oven: While the dough is chilling, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
4. Roll Out the Dough: After chilling, remove the dough from the refrigerator. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/8 inch thick. Use a round cookie cutter or a glass to cut out circles of dough, approximately 4-5 inches in diameter.
5. Add Filling: Place a tablespoon of your chosen fruit filling in the center of each dough circle. Be careful not to overfill, as this may cause them to burst while baking.
6. Seal the Empanadas: Fold the dough circle over the filling to create a half-moon shape. Press the edges together firmly to seal and use a fork to crimp the edges for an added decorative touch.
7. Prepare for Baking: In a small bowl, beat the additional egg for the egg wash. Brush the top of each empanada with the egg wash to give them a golden color as they bake.
8. Bake the Empanadas: Place the empanadas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Optionally, sprinkle a little sugar on top of each one for added sweetness. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
9. Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the empanadas from the oven and allow them to cool on a wire rack. Serve warm, and enjoy the sweet flavors of this traditional festive treat.

Enjoy your Empanadas de Dulce!
