Cookie Bake Off #13 - Biscochitos

Biscochitos - the 13th cookie.  Nevada's pick.  Honestly, it's been so long I don't remember when I made these ..  I barely remember anything about them.

Ingredients:

• 1 c sugar
• 1 t cinnamon 
• 1 T anise seed
• 8 T butter
• 8 T vegetable shortening
• 1/2 t salt
• 1 large egg yold
• 1 t vanilla
• 2 c flour
  

Here's the picture of what they should looks like

These are Nevada's cookies.

and these are mine. 

 

I thought they turned out good.  I might try making regular shortbread next time.
