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...

1 Tbsp baking powder
1 bottle anise extract (2 fluid oz)

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.

I couldn't find anise extract at my local grocery store, so I used almond extract instead. The cookies still turned out great!

These cookies are a bit too sweet for my taste, but they are still very good.
