Bizcochitos are sweet, buttery and flaky.

Bizcochitos are slightly zesty, spicy and tart.

Bizcochitos are the state cookie of New Mexico, and this is a title that I strongly support.

I mean, really. These are serious times - people need to know what’s what.

And information is king.

Perhaps you’re considering a move across state lines. Or you’re thinking about taking a job in a different time zone. Maybe your son or daughter is contemplating heading off to college on the opposite coast.

Wouldn’t you prefer to be making these life-altering decisions armed with the knowledge of what types of cookies you are transitioning to and from?

Let’s say that you are choosing between a move to Georgia and a move to Alabama. Doesn’t this decision become infinitely easier if you know that you’re choosing between a gorgeous, peachy-keen, sugar-dusted cookie and a fruitcake-like, slightly stale confection? (No offense to Alabama -I think we know who’s who here- this example was merely for illustrative purposes.)

College in Connecticut versus New York might be an extremely difficult choice, but it’s a breeze once you know that you’re picking between a nutty, soft, caramel cookie and a lumpy, dry, oatmeal, thing.

A job in Kansas versus a job in Missouri becomes a no-brainer when you replace Kansas with chocolate butterscotch drops and Missouri with dried prune cookies.

Duh.

I think you can see where I’m going with this.

So much critical information missing from so many crucial decisions.

It’s time to start fighting for our rights!
