Answer 1

I'm not quite sure what you're thinking of.

Bizcochos is a sponge cake but the name is similar to what you're thinking??
There is a recipe for Polvorones. It's a type of almond biscuit. Here's the recipe, but I'm still trying to think of what biscuit you're thinking of.

INGREDIENTS:
1 1/2 cups Flour
3/4 cup Almonds (raw)
5 oz. Butter or Margarine
3/4 cup Sugar
1/2 tsp Cinnamon
PREPARATION:
Makes approximately 16 (2-inch round) cookies.

Prepare Flour and Almonds:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Measure and pour flour out onto a cookie sheet. Place in oven and "toast" the flour.

Occasionally move the flour around on the sheet, so that it toasts evenly. Leave in oven for about 8 minutes. Remove and set aside.

Place raw almonds on another cookie sheet. Toast the almonds until they change color just slightly. Remove and place almonds into a food processor. Process almonds until they are finely ground.

Reduce oven temperature to 250 degrees.

Make Dough:
Cream butter, sugar and cinnamon together in a large mixing bowl. Add the flour and finely ground almonds and continue mixing. The dough will be very crumbly!

Form the Cookies:
Place a sheet of waxed paper on a cutting board or other flat work surface. Press the dough together to form a ball. Then press the dough onto the waxed paper. Carefully flatten it down to about 1/2 inch. Use a cookie cutter to cut out the cookies.

Use a small spatula to carefully move the cookies from the waxed paper to a cookie sheet for baking because the dough is very dry and flakey.

Bake Cookies:
Bake cookies on ungreased cookie sheet for 25-30 minutes at 250 degrees. Remove cookie sheet from oven and allow cookies to cool completely before removing them. Take special care not to break them.

Maybe you should go to or call the bakery and double check what it is again?? I'll keep my eyes and ears open though.
