"I studied abroad in Seville, Spain, during college. Right before the holidays, a little pastry shop opened across the street from my apartment. They sold these round little cookies in a variety of flavors, wrapped beautifully in wax paper. I’ve dreamed about them (and talked incessantly about them) ever since. This is a variation on what I remember and is every bit as delicious. You can purchase the absolute best leaf lard from Jesse Griffiths of Dai Due Butcher Shop in pint jars."

Remember, black walnuts don’t taste like English walnuts at all. These cookies are rich, buttery and full of the perfume-y black walnut flavor.

These cookies are my version of Moravian spice cookies, but are made with fresh ginger as well as cocoa. If you roll them out paper-thin, they are very crisp and delicate, but you must be careful not to overcook them as they burn easily. Rolled out to about 1-inch thick, they can be slightly chewy. You can roll them between two 18-inch squares of heavy, unbleached canvas or sheets of plastic wrap. You will need a 2-inch cookie cutter, lightly greased, nonstick cookie sheets and a rolling pin.
