BIZCOCHITOS (MEXICAN ANISE COOKIES)
Mexican anise cookies, from Best of Cooking Light Holidays. (TIP: Don't use a substitute for the sifted cake flour called for in these Bizcochitos. It's the best choice for many light baked goods because its low-protein, high-starch content yields a better texture when fat and sugar- two ingredients that lend tenderness- are reduced.) ENJOY!
