The Pueblo Indians make these for kiva parties, Kachina or Corn
Dances, weddings, the pueblo's Saint's Day, and field parties for
planting or harvesting crops.

2/3 cup lard or vegetable shortening
1 egg

1/2 tea spoons vanilla extract
1/2 tea spoons aniseed
1/3 cup milk
1/2 cup piñon (pignoli), chopped
1 tea spoons ground cinnamon
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a mixing bowl, cream 2/3 cup sugar and lard. Add egg and blend
thoroughly. Stir in flour, baking powder, vanilla extract and
aniseed, blending thoroughly. Gradually add milk until a stiff dough
is formed. Mix in the piñon nuts.
Roll dough out on a lightly floured board to 1/2-inch thickness. Cut
into 2-inch cookies with a cookie cutter. Sprinkle tops with mixture
of the remaining sugar and cinnamon. Bake cookies on a well-greased
baking sheet for about 15 minutes, or until golden. Cool on a rack.
