Two birds with one stone: there is a Florilegium file on cookies and 
small cakes, though not all the recipes are period.  In it, you will 
find my translation and redaction for bizcochos, from Granado.  They are 
anise-flavored and egg-leavened, and belong to the same cookie family as 
jumbals.  Everyone likes them, except for people who dislike anise.  
Even my dear lord conceded that they were "pretty good for something 
with anise".
