I make them every year.

Usually they just are not the same. <BR/><BR/>When I first stopped eating meat, I tried avoiding all meat products. That was, for me, so not worth the effort and stress that it caused. I would much rather just enjoy one of my favorite cookies, lard and all. When my 90 year old grandmother made a chicken casserole, I ate that happily too!Katyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10477390759808350270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12510183.post-39318892386903674572008-12-18T21:28:00.000-07:002008-12-18T21:28:00.000-07:00Glenda, some recipes say red wine.

The state legislature apparently specified that they would be the state cookie but there wouldn't be a single definitive recipe. <BR/><BR/>Katy, I've had some that were hard and dry too. Rolling them too thin is a problem, and they probably didn't use any alcohol and maybe not enough LARD. :-)Sandra Doddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11853107998229753762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12510183.post-52907083833093870582008-12-18T18:22:00.000-07:002008-12-18T18:22:00.000-07:00I had the worst bizcochitos today!

I was hoping to start that tradition with my toddler this year as well :)Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08589450319640171616noreply@blogger.com
