TRADITIONAL ANISE COOKIES



Traditional Anise Cookies image

This authentic anise cookie is my mothers recipe. The use of anise oil (available behind the counter from your pharmacist)sets this cookie apart from the rest. You can make these cookies in November and store them in a tightly covered tin to let them age and mellow, ready for Christmas.

Self-Frosting Anise Cookies image

An old German recipe I found in my recipe collection, similar to the cookies commercially sold around Christmas time. Prep time doesn't include standing time.

Categories     Drop Cookies

Time 59m

Yield 10 dz

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 1/4 cups sifted flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 eggs
2 cups sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons anise extract

Steps:

  • Sift flour, baking powder and salt together several times.
  • Beat eggs at low speed until frothy, turn mixer to medium, slowly, gradually beat in sugar (about 1 tbl at a time) Turn mixer to a low speed; add sifted dry ingredients slowly, beat 15 minutes longer, blend in anise.
  • Using small cookie scoop or teaspoon drop onto greased cookie sheets,work quickly.
  • Allow to stand in a cool place several hours or over night, the top of the cookie should be dry to the touch.
  • Bake at 325 F about 14 minutes, should not brown.
  • Makes about 10 dz.

Tips:

  • Use fresh anise seeds: Fresh anise seeds have a stronger flavor and aroma than ground anise. If you can, try to find whole anise seeds and grind them yourself just before using.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set: The cookies should be slightly soft in the center when you take them out of the oven. They will continue to firm up as they cool.
  • Store the cookies in an airtight container: The cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 2 months.

Conclusion:

Anise overnight cookies are a delicious and festive treat that are perfect for the holidays. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With their unique flavor and aroma, these cookies are sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
