Thread: Bischochitos anyone?

Bischochitos is a hispanic cookie made in the southwest of the USA.
They are traditionally made around Thankgiving and Christmas.

I am taking a batch with me to the Ukraine and they actually asked me for the recipe. I can provide it in English but would not want a particular ingredient mis lead. So I was wondering if some of you kind folks can translate this for me.
If not oh well....

But for the rest of you, this is some good stuff!
