Recipe: Montecado

Misc.
I believe you are looking for "Montecado". This is the only recipe I could find.

2 1/3 cups melted shortening
5 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 ounce anise extract
1 1/4 cups white sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
72 blanched almonds

1 Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F(120 degrees C).
2 Combine the flour, sugar and cinnamon together. Add the melted shortening until all is mixed in well. Stir in the anise and knead for 5 minutes. Roll into 1 inch balls and place on an ungreased cookie sheet 2 inches apart. Place a blanched almond on top of each cookie and push down slightly.
3 Bake at 250 degrees F (120 degrees C) for 30 minutes. You do no want to brown the cookies. They should remain pale. Let cookies cool on cookie sheet for 30 minutes.
