INSTRUCTIONS
This is another Great dough for cut out cookies. It comes with the
Southwest tradition and is sprinkled with Cinnamon and Sugar as opposed to
frosting. When we traveled throughout New Mexico and visited the Native
American Indian Pueblos, we were able to purchase these cookies still baked
in the traditional outdoor ovens. I believe they are called Kiva's, but I'm
not positive. However, these are the official state cookie of New Mexico
and traditionally made with 'lard' and baked for Christmas. This recipe
comes from my cousin that lives in N.M.
Heat over to 350 degrees. Mix sugar, butter, sherry and egg in large bowl.
Stir in next four (4) ingredients. Divide dough into halves. Roll each half
1/4 inch thick on lightly floured board.
Cut into desired shapes with cookie cutters; place on ungreased cookie
sheet. Mix the 1/4 cup sugar and the cinnamon; sprinkle on cookies. Bake
until light golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes.
Approx. 4 dozen 2-inch cookies.
