I followed the recipe exactly, and the texture was very “powdery” at first in an unappealing way. However, after sitting for a day, they improved dramatically. I also made some with strawberry filling which were a big hit, too. Thank you!

In reply to Mariah. Absolutely, Mariah. Butter is a good substitution for lard in this Coyotas recipe, so if you make them let me know how they turned out!

These are the cookies on my childhood in Hermosillo. Mi Abuela, Nana Sara, would make these for us as a treat and I would so many I would get a stomach ache (which was 100% worth it). Thank you for sharing this recipe!

I cannot tell you how much it meant to have the Sonoran women who fill me with joy to be so touched with these coyotas i made from your recipe… they served me a special breakfast because it meant that much to them! There’s a lot of love in the food I taste from women all over Mexico and it teaches me so much more than food. Thank you Maricruz. You are incredible!

In reply to Emmanuella. Hi Emmanuella, if you make the dough by hand is better if you use softened lard. If using a stand mixer then chilled lard can be used easily as it would be easier to combine into the dough. And I only chill the dough if the room temperature is too hot, so it would be easier to manage. 10-15 minutes are enough.

Great ingredients! I’m using the hand method right now. Is room temperature or chilled lard best? Do you ever chill the dough before rolling out? Thanks a lot
