The bizcochito or biscochito (diminutive of the Spanish bizcocho) is a New Mexican crisp butter cookie made with lard, flavored with sugar, cinnamon, and anise.[2][3] The dough is rolled thin and cut into the shape of the fleur-de-lis, the Christian cross, a star, or a circle, symbolizing the moon.[4]

The cookie was developed in New Mexico[5] over the centuries from the first Spanish colonists[6] of what was then known as Santa Fe de Nuevo México. The roots of this pastry date back as far as the Battle of Puebla in 1862, where French Emperor Maximilian was overthrown by the Mexicans. This date is now famously recognized in the United States as Cinco de Mayo, literally the "Fifth of May".[7]

Biscochitos are commonly served during celebrations such as wedding receptions, baptisms, and religious (especially Catholic) holidays, and frequently during the Christmas season.[2][8] They are also usually served with coffee.[8]

In 1989, the U.S. State of New Mexico made the bizcochito its official state cookie,[8] making New Mexico the first U.S. state to have an official state cookie.[3][9] It was chosen to help maintain traditional home-baked cookery. To date, New Mexico remains one of only two states with a state cookie, alongside Massachusetts' chocolate-chip cookie.[10] Lupe Jackson, a New Mexican native, won first prize in a New England cookie contest in 2008 for her Bizcochito recipe—overcoming the Huckabees' snickerdoodles and the Romneys' Welsh skillet cakes.[11]
