Delightful Mexican corn cookies with customizable flavors like orange and cinnamon.
Ingredients:
- 1 pound vegetable shortening
- 1.75 cups white sugar
- 4 eggs
- 2 oranges, zested
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 pounds white masa harina (corn flour)
- 3 tablespoons baking powder
- 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon all-purpose flour
Instructions:
- In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the shortening and sugar until creamy. Then, mix in the eggs, orange zest, and vanilla.
- In a separate bowl, mix together corn flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and flour. Add half of the flour mixture to the shortening mixture and mix on low speed until combined. Then, add the remaining flour mixture and knead by hand until the dough comes together.
- Preheat the oven to a toasty 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Shape each small portion of dough into a thin ring and place them on ungreased baking sheets, keeping them close together. These rings do not spread during baking.
- Place the coricos in the preheated oven and bake until they are perfectly golden brown all over, approximately 45 minutes. Remember to switch the racks halfway through for even cooking.
- Transfer the dish from the oven to wire racks to cool.
