Polvorones de Tequila (Tequila Sugar Cookies)
Cookie:
5 cups flour
1¼ cups sugar
¾ cup tequila
1 tbsp. ground cinnamon (freshly ground, if possible)
1½ tsp. baking powder
2¾ cups shortening
Sugar topping:
1 cup sugar
1 tbsp. ground cinnamon (freshly ground, if possible)
Preheat oven to 350° Combine cookie ingredients in large mixing bowl. Knead
dough together with hands. When the dough is well combined, allow dough to
rest for 15 minutes. Combine sugar and cinnamon for topping in a shallow
dish. On a floured surface, roll cookie dough out in a ¼-inch thickness.
Cut into 2-inch circles, with a cookie cutter or a small glass. Arrange on
an un-greased cookie sheet, and bake for 12-15 minutes, until pale golden in
color, and firm to the touch. Roll in sugar topping while hot.
