Biscochitos are sweet, crisp butter cookies, spiced with cinnamon and anise. These cookies originated in New Mexico, were developed over centuries, and were inspired by a mix

of local cuisines. The dough is rolled thin, cut into shapes (traditionally the fleur-de-lis,

but often stars), and sprinkled with cinnamon sugar before baking.

~ RUGELACH ~

Wine Pairing: Merlot

Originating in the Jewish communities of Poland, Rugelach is a bite-size pastry made

with a dough consisting of cream cheese. It is then cut into triangles and rolled up

with traditional fillings such as jams, nuts or raisins.

This is the season of giving. It’s a time to appreciate all that is around us–especially

the sweet scent of holiday baking. Baking gingerbread cookies is a childhood memory

for many of us. This cookie is baked to taste sweet and contains ginger, cinnamon,

cloves, nutmeg, molasses, honey and brown sugar.
