Anise Italian Cookies image

This cookie recipe was given to me by my Italian sister-in-law maybe 20 years ago. Her mom made 100 cookies as she had 14 children , of course we have downsized it to 20 cookies now. They are hundred times better than the ones you buy in the supermarkets ! The best when dipped in your morning coffee ! I know you will love...

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 c flour
3 medium eggs
1/2 c sugar
1/2 c crisco
1/2 c butter
1 Tbsp baking powder
1 bottle anise extract (2 fluid oz)
1 tsp vanilla (if desired)

Steps:

  • 1. Cream sugar, eggs, butter and Crisco together. Then add anise extract, gradually add the flour and Baking powder (I end up using more than 2 cups, til I get a cookie dough consistency and no longer sticky)then roll into balls (around 1 inch in size) Press down a little on top.
  • 2. Place balls on lightly greased cookie sheet. Bake 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes.
  • 3. I also glaze with confectioner sugar & milk,when completely cooled, then sprinkle with nonpareils.

I had some trouble getting the cookies to hold their shape. They spread out too much in the oven. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

These cookies are a bit too sweet for my taste, but they're still good. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not a fan of anise, but I still liked these cookies. The flavor was subtle and not overpowering.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I was happy to find a recipe for anise cookies that didn't contain any.

I made these cookies for my Italian grandmother and she loved them! She said they reminded her of the cookies she used to make when she was a child.

I've made these cookies several times now and they're always a favorite. They're soft and chewy with just the right amount of anise flavor. I love to dip them in coffee or tea.
