I found Ms. Navidad Manzanares today January 7th 2024, though I'm reaching 80 yrs. I will make biscochitos. I still have my grandma rolling pin. It was her's than my mom's and then mine. ❤
Watching Mrs. Manzanares warmed my heart and brought a tear to my eye and a smile to my face. She brought back so many wonderful memories my sweet Grandma and our many years of baking Biscochitos, tortillas, arroz dulce, chile Colorado, and so much more. Thank you for sharing. I just want to hug her!
Awww... such a nice comment. You're grandma reminds me a lot of my grandma. Let's cherish the wonderful memories. This brought tears to my eyes too. Im grateful for the video. #repent #maranatha #notw
Yes this brought a tear to my eyes too, she reminded me of my grandma, my grandma would make biscochitos every Christmas it was a treat I miss soo much, a lot of people out here in California don’t know about it.... so many New Mexican dishes I miss
I'm from NM and can verify that this one is The Real Deal. Thank you for sharing this lovely bite of history, Senora Manzanares - you and your wisdom are a true treasure!
That apron, her painted nails, all the Corell and Pyrex, the OG Tupperware, and the unpretentious warmth of this woman and her kitchen....It’s all wonderful! I’m on a bizcochito making kick and will be making Mrs Manzanares’ recipe this afternoon. Thank you for this marvelous film!
Natividad was known to me as Aunt Tivi, Tony her husband was my mothers cousin. When I say this video of her. It brought tears to my eyes and warmth in my hart. I proudly tell my daughters of my youth growing up in the la puente area. Cold winter perfect summers and Christmas at its best no money needed. I miss her them so much. I appreciate the gentle man that documented her. Thank you very much. I will be donating to that organization regularly. Virginia is another world from Northern New Mexico.
We have a big green Pyrex bowl exactly like that one! We lived in New Mexico many years ago, and that's where Mom got hers! Wow! We also used to get these cookies at the old La Hacienda in Old Town if we ate all our supper. We would park around back where the street, and maybe even the lot, was paved with strips of tar-paper or asphalt or something. There always seemed to be a Navajo Freight lines trailer parked on the other side of the fence, with its distinctive "blue-eyed Indian" painted on the side. What memories!
I come back every year to this video and have mi linda, Mrs. Manzanares, guide me to bake biscochitos for the holidays. Born in ‘Burque but raised in Cali, these cookies are always appreciated by my friends & fam here in San Diego.
Lucky for the women and men who had grandparents. I only had one grandmother alive. But she passed away when I was very young. My parents had me late in life. So I enjoy watching watching like this.
LOVE this video. Showed it to my fam. I was raised in Santa Fe. My mom is from there too. I'm a gringo, but I am hooked on all things New Mexico. Thank you for filming this. It's beautiful. She's awesome!
New Mexico is its own world- I know exactly what you mean. And it’s hard to understand unless you lived the New Mexico life. Viva New Mexico! I use orange zest too!
I made these cookies for the first time tonight alone and man did they come out horrible. This video is just what I needed to give my heart warmth and gained confidence in trying again! 🥰 Feliz Navidad Señorita!
Ok I'm writing the ingredients: 1 C Lard (she uses Morell, & you can do 2 C lard only instead of 1 C lard and 1 C shortening) 1 C Shortening (e.g. Crisco) 1 C White Sugar 3 Eggs 1/4 C Orange juice (or sweet wine/Brandy/whiskey) Dash of salt 1 Tbs Anise seeds 1 tsp Vanilla 6-7 C Flour (sifted with baking powder) 3 tsp Baking powder (or 1 Tbs Baking powder) White sugar and cinnamon for dipping the cookies.
@@killgore2408 Some recipes call for o.j, red sweet wine, or even whiskey for the liquid. We do o.j. and a bit of red wine. It just depends on the family. Enjoy!
She is beyond a blessing! What a beautiful light she is! Thank you for sharing this recipe and for sharing your beautiful memories with us Mrs. Manzanares! 💜💕🥰
I LOVE and refer to this video often. She reminds me of my grandmother Stella who was from Las Vegas New Mexico.....thank you for passing this recipe on...I'm teaching to my grandson today!!
My family is also feom New Mexico. She sounds just like my grandmother who would be her contemporary. There is something the same about this generation of women from New Mexico. It is unique to them. I have never witnessed it in people from other places. It is distinct. Amazing to see. It’s what many of us know and grew up with. I really appreciate this video.
🥰 Que hermoso video I loved watching her Mrs. Manzanares you are so warming thank you so much for sharing your recipe with the world Dios me la bendiga muchos anos mas❤🙏Feliz Navidad 2023

Thank you Mrs. Manzanares 💕 God Bless you 🙏 I'd love to see my recipes from her!! This is the best biscochito recipe! I'd love to see some other recipes from her like enchiladas, tamales and pasole!!

I’m not a big with emotions…but I’m crying over here 😫😭 I just want to kiss her hands because I remember my little grandmas hands being so soft after she stirred the lard 🥰 she had that same kyphosis I just loved wrapping my arms around. I was blessed with 3 little grandmas and I forgot how much I miss them 💔 I wish I could make a batch with my little grandmas 🥺😪
I love people like this, so warm and sweet. I would love to be her friend and make the cookies with her at her kitchen. I baked and cooked so much that my stove broke, but I have a little oven I bought at wal mart so I will make 1/2 the recipe for baking. These are my favorite cookies with coffee.❤🙋♀️
Love the video it brings back so many memories of NM in general. Biscochitos are my favorite cookie. My mom gave me the recipe. My heart belongs to NM.
Love watching Mrs. Manzanares. So homemy that reminds me of my grandma. Her voice is so soothing too. Hope the new generations should cherish how our ancestor wisdom and cooking. Thank you for the vblogs
Ma’am you remind me so much ch of my abuelita. Your recipe and Hers are exactly the same. The problem is me I can never get them just right. She passed away in 2016 and you just reminded me of her. Thank you so much.
This woman is beautiful, this is like watching your own mother or grandmother cook. She cooks the same way she was taught many years ago, you can tell tradition means a lot to her. Being born and raised in New Mexico this did bring a smile to my face and made me miss the beautiful women in my family that loved to cook.
I made these today for gift giving and everyone loved them! Thank you for such a wonderful traditional Christmas recipe! Merry Christmas! Feliz Navidad! 🎄
❤ best video of all time.. especially her .. she makes the video more loveable and makes it so easy.

Wish the ingredients were written in the description. I want to say thank you for your recipe! I've been making a double batch for the last 2 Christmases and everyone loves it plus I get to tell everyone the history behind the cookies.
This year I’m in charge of making 25 boxes of cookies for Christmas. I need to make at least 8 different kind of cookies for each box. Do you think these are a good idea to include?
This brought a tear to my eye reminded me of when I was a little kid and my grandma used to make us biscochitos during Christmas time, haven’t had biscochitos in a long time.... I grew up in California but my family is from NM
I have the same cup she used for the lard I love our state, our culture and food. Watching this felt like home. I can't wait to try making my own for the first time alone this year

I’m from NM and this lady is precious. Also these cookies are traditional and delicious!
She made me wanna be there with her. I have no more grandmas so seeing her bake brings back a lot of childhood memories.
