Yield 2 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
3 large eggs
1 1/4 cups sugar
1 teaspoon anise extract

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt into a medium bowl; set aside. 2. Put eggs in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Mix on medium speed until eggs are fluffy, about 3 minutes. Gradually beat in the sugar until incorporated, about 3 minutes. Mix in anise extract. Reduce speed to low; mix in flour mixture. Transfer to a pastry bag fitted with a coupler or a 1/2-inch plain tip (such as an Ateco No. 806). Pipe 1 3/4-inch rounds onto baking sheets lined with parchment paper, spacing 1/2 inch apart. 3. Bake cookies, rotating sheets halfway through, until tops crack and cookies are very pale, 8 to 9 minutes. Transfer to wire racks using a spatula; let cool. Cookies can be stored in airtight containers at room temperature up to 3 days.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all the ingredients and equipment you need. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling later on.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better your anise drops will turn out. Look for fresh, plump anise seeds and pure anise extract.
  • Be patient: Making anise drops takes time. Don't rush the process, or you'll end up with hard, brittle candies.
  • Store anise drops properly: Once your anise drops are made, store them in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. They will last for up to two weeks.

Conclusion:

Anise drops are a delicious and easy-to-make candy that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With their sweet, licorice-like flavor, they're perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth or adding a touch of flavor to your favorite desserts. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give anise drops a try. You won't be disappointed!
