Anisbroetli aniseed biscuits are a traditional Swiss cookie with a delightful flavor that combines the sweetness of the cookie with the aromatic fragrance of aniseed. They are often enjoyed during the Christmas season, but can be enjoyed year-round. These cookies are made with a simple dough that is flavored with aniseed and then baked until golden brown. They have a slightly crunchy exterior and a soft, chewy interior, and are often served with a cup of coffee or tea.

ANISETTE BISCOTTI



Anisette Biscotti image

My great-great-aunt Josie created this recipe and handed it down through the family. The anise seed and anisette give it an authentic Italian flavor. A bit labor intensive, but they are so worth it! Great for dunking in tea or coffee, or just munching on. I double the recipe and give them out for Christmas every year.

ANISBROETLI (ANISEED BISCUITS)



Anisbroetli (Aniseed Biscuits) image

These are traditional Swiss biscuits, made with moulds similar to shortbread moulds. They are hard, and great to nibble on and dunk in coffee. I also make an almond variation for those who don't care for anise, I will post separately. It makes quite a bit depending on the size of your cutters, but is easily halved.
