Yield 30

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 eggs, separated
2 cups confectioners' sugar
1 pinch salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon ground anise seed
1 tablespoon cold water

Steps:

  • Beat egg whites with water until stiff.
  • In a large bowl, beat egg yolks with sugar, salt, and vanilla until creamy. Fold egg whites into yolks using a wire whisk. Sift flour and anise into the bowl, and gently stir together with the whisk. Mix will look lumpy.
  • Put dough into decorating bag with round large tip, and press 1 inch rounds onto sheet. Let cookies sit out overnight at room temperature to dry.
  • The next day, cover cookies with a sheet of parchment paper, and bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 20 to 25 minutes. Cookies are done when bottom is light brown, but tops are still almost white. Cool.
  • Store in container for 2 to 3 weeks in a cool place to mellow and to turn soft. You can add a slice of bread or a piece of apple to help soften the cookies.

I'm not usually a fan of anise, but I really enjoyed these cookies. The anise flavor is very subtle and it's perfectly balanced with the sweetness of the cookie.
