Santa Fe Celebrates Biscochito Day

Santa Fe just made June 16th official Biscochito Day, celebrating New Mexico’s beloved anise-flavored cookie with deep roots in Spanish, Indigenous, and regional heritage. A state favorite since 1989, this crisp, lard-based treat—often baked for holidays, weddings, and fiestas—symbolizes family, tradition, and cultural fusion. After years of advocacy and a spirited debate over spelling, the state honored its culinary treasure, inviting everyone to bake or savor a bite and remember how food brings us together.
