What Exactly is a Biscochito?
In its simplest form the biscochito is a variation of a sugar cookie or shortbread.
The Santa Fe Biscochito, however, is much more. We have perfected the age old culinary art and are sure that you will agree the Santa Fe Biscochito is the finest variation around. From its delicate "melt in your mouth" texture to its equally delicious taste, we're confident a Santa Fe Biscochito will satisfy biscochito connoisseurs and novices alike.
Santa Fe Biscochitos have a unique and intriguing history. Sometimes referred to as the cookie of the Conquistadores, the biscochito was introduced to the New World by Spanish explorers in the 16th century. Its true origin, however, can be traced back even further because the recipe was first introduced to Spain by the Moors when they invaded Seville. Therefore, food historians believe the biscochito--like many Spanish cookies--has roots in Medieval Arabic cuisine (hence the sugar, anise and cinnamon spicing!)
