A little dry, but I loved the anise seed and cinnamon taste!

Made these for my family but no one liked them because of the licorice flavor. Made a second time without anise seed and with pineapple juice, and rolled them into balls before baking because I just don't have the counter space to roll out dough. They were gone before the oven was cool. :)

SIMPLE, QUICK & DELICIOUS! These were lovely. I whipped them up to take with us on an outing. I never knew lard-based cookies could taste sooooooooo good!. My family loved them. I cut up my dough with a pizza cutter to save time. But I got my daughter to roll them in the cinnamon sugar when they came out of the oven. I will make these again. GREAT RECIPE!

This recipe brought back memories of my grandmother! I loved them. They tasted just like the ones she made for us as children. My grandmothers recipes is almost exact except for a couple small details. Her recipe used only 1 C of sugar, and she used 3 eggs. She also used orange juice (I like to use OJ) or whiskey for the liquid. This is a keeper! My daughter loved cutting the cookies out and sprinkling them with cinnamon sugar. We used to dip them in Coffee when we were kids, I guess because that's what the grown ups did and I wanted to be "grown up" too... can I go back to being a kid now if I don't dip them in coffee? :)

I am giving this recipe 4 stars because of the ease and the basic ingredients used. The cookies were quite good, the directions were clear and concise and the baking time was spot-on. However, I did not give them 5 stars because they are definitely not **quite** authentic. My sisters and I made these cookies to include in my welcome baskets for the guests attending my wedding in Santa Fe, NM and the recipe we used had about 15-20 ingredients and the cookies were MUCH more authentic tasting. I did not have most of the ingredients on-hand (or the time or desire!!) to duplicate that recipe. This is an easy, very quick recipe that will give you good results but is missing just a little **something**.

These weren't exactly like Grandma used to make, but they did take me back. Next time I'll add more anise. The dough got rather crumbly so I had to keep adding butter. This recipe's a keeper~~~I'll just tweek it to make it my own.

Made these for my partner who was is a New Mexico transplant. She couldn't wait for them to cool before she was eating them. She claims they are totally authentic. The only suggestion would be to dip the cookies in cinnamon & sugar (liberally) after they come out of the oven - as soon as cool enough to touch. Otherwise...perfect!

My mother has been making these cookies all my life - it wouldn't be Christmas without them! We have always used small (1 inch) cookie cutters in various shapes. We put the cookies in a bowl filled with cinnamon/sugar and then put them on the baking sheet - then back in the sugar when they come out of the oven! My family eats them like popcorn!

Very good sugar cookies with just a hint of licorice flavor! I couldn't find lard so I used butter instead and they still turned out fantastic.

Well, first off: Never send a man to do a womans job. :p My husband bought All Vegetable Shortnening instead of lard. Still, they came out DELICIOUS! I was told they come out better w/ lard, so i'll use that next time. Also, I used brandy, not pineapple juice like another suggested, but I did use PJ to moisten up the dough when needed. THANK YOU!

This recipe is the best. My Grandmother used to make me these cookies as a little girl. The only difference to the recipe was she used ( pineapple-juice)instead of (brandy). She would roll the cookies in the sugar & cinnamon when the cookies were still hot. Thank You VERY MUCH.
