this is a great recipe i made my first batch following the recipe to the T. My second batch I made using my mom's tips. I quadrudpled the recipe, subbing one cup of Maseca with flour. I didn't use lard I used oil and added about half a cup of the chili sauce to the masa. This makes the masa super fluffy and extra tasty. I make my tamales the traditional mexican way. I spread the masa then fold in one side bring up the middle and finishing rolling (imagine the husk as a triangle with the point being the "middle" part). It saves time from having to cut strips to tie the tamales.

If I could give it more stars, I would! These cookies are absolutely delicious. Not super sweet. I didn't sandwich them. I made some with raspberry jelly in the center, others dipped in chocolate and some with only sprinkles! You have got to try this!

Great recipe! My hubby is the one that makes the great red sauce, this recipe let me be the queen of red sauce for a night. I have made this several times and it's just as amazing as the first!
