Biscochos Recipe
4 eggs
1 cup sugar
2/3 cup oil
1 teaspoon vanilla
5 cups cake flour
2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp vanilla essence
Pinch of salt
1/4 tsp baking soda
Toppings
1/4 cup fine sugar
2 teaspoon cinnamon
Or
Color sprinkles
1 egg, beaten with 1/2 tsp water
Preheat oven to 350°F.
In a stand mixer, beat all the ingredients at slow speed until the dough comes together and forms a ball. (If dough is too sticky, add a few tablespoons of flour until it no longer sticks to fingers).
Place dough on a work surface and gently knead for about a minute, until dough is smooth and pliable.
Break off pieces of the dough and roll into walnut-sized balls. Take a ball and roll into a thin 4-5 inch strand, then close into a ring. Dip into the cinnamon sugar and place on a parchment lined baking sheet.
To decorate with sprinkles, brush the ring with egg wash, then drop sprinkles on top.
Bake biscochos for about 20 minutes, until firm and golden brown.
Remove cookies from the oven and allow to cool.
Lower oven temperature to 200°F.
Biscochar (crisp) the cookies by leaving in the oven for one hour.
Transfer to a wire rack and allow to cool.
