These traditional Mexican cookies must be made with lard to have the right consistency. There's nothing like a crisp-tender spicy bizcocho. Cut them into different shapes for the kids or just use a round cutter.Source unknown

2 tbsp. fresh orange juice
1 egg yolk

For coating, mix sugar, cinnamon and cloves in a wide shallow dish (like a pie plate). Carefully dredge the cookies in the spiced sugar while they are warm. Cool completely on a rack.
