LAVENDER AND LEMON BISCOCHITOS
Biscochitos are the state cookie for our home state of New Mexico. They are traditionally made with anise seeds, but I substituted lavender and lemon in this biscochitos recipe. The result is intriguing and delicious! I have also made these with lemon and dried thyme and they were scrumptious. -Marla Clark, Albuquerque, New Mexico
