Tips:

  • Use softened butter: Softened butter will cream together with sugar more easily, resulting in a smoother cookie dough.
  • Chill the dough: Chilling the dough before rolling and cutting it will help prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Roll the dough to the proper thickness: The dough should be rolled to a thickness of 1/8 inch for best results.
  • Use a sharp cookie cutter: A sharp cookie cutter will give you clean, precise cuts and prevent the dough from tearing.
  • Bake the cookies at the right temperature: The cookies should be baked at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are just beginning to brown.

Anise cutout cookies are a delicious and festive treat that are perfect for any occasion. With their unique flavor and delicate texture, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a special cookie recipe, give these anise cutout cookies a try!
