Ingredients
 

  • 1 and ½ cups of cassava or yuca starch plus more for rolling
  • 6 tablespoons of sugar
  • 2 tablespoons of brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon of baking powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • ¼ cup of butter at room temperature
  • 1 large egg at room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon of aguardiente or 1 teaspoon of anise extract

Instructions
 

  • In a food processor, combine all the ingredients. Pulse until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Then process continuously until the dough comes together.
  • Form a ball, cover with plastic wrap and set aside for about 30 minutes.
  • Turn the batter out onto a floured work surface and divide in half. With well-floured hands, shape into two logs.
  • Using a knife, cut the dough into small squares. Pattern each cookie with a fork.
  • Preheat an oven to 325°F. Place the Panderos on the cookie sheet, about 1 inch apart.
  • Bake until light brown, about 15 minutes. Transfer the baking sheet to a rack and let the Panderos cool on the sheet for 5 minutes. Transfer them to the rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
