Yield 30

Number Of Ingredients 11

5 cups buttermilk baking mix
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups white sugar
2 egg
¾ cup water
1 tablespoon anise extract
1 cup chopped pecans
2 cups confectioners' sugar
3 tablespoons water
1 teaspoon anise extract
3 drops red food coloring

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • In a large bowl, stir together buttermilk baking mix, flour, sugar, and nuts. In another smaller bowl, whisk together eggs, anise extract, and water. Pour liquid over the dry ingredients and stir until well combined. Dough should have a dry consistency like biscuit dough. Roll dough into walnut sized balls and place on a cookie sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes. Cookies should be a light golden brown. Remove to cool on a rack. When cool, paint with glaze.
  • For glaze: Mix confectioners' sugar with anise extract and food coloring. Add water 1 tablespoon at a time. Stir until smooth. Water may be adjusted to give the glaze a creamy paint-like consistency. Paint the cookies with a pastry brush, or dip them in the glaze with a slotted spoon. Let the cookies dry on waxed paper or on cooling racks. If you do not glaze the cookies, they will become rock-hard in texture.

Overall, these cookies were a bit of a disappointment. They were dry and lacked flavor.

These cookies are a bit too dense for my taste. I prefer a lighter, airier cookie.

I followed the recipe exactly and the cookies turned out dry and crumbly. I'm not sure what went wrong.

I'm not usually a fan of anise, but these cookies were surprisingly delicious. The anise flavor was subtle and not overpowering.
