Self-frosting anise cookies are a delightful treat that combines the flavors of anise and sugar in a single delicious bite. The cookies are made with a simple dough that is rolled in sugar and then baked until golden brown. As the cookies cool, the sugar on the outside caramelizes and creates a sweet, crunchy coating. The anise flavor comes from the addition of anise extract to the dough, which gives the cookies a distinctive and aromatic flavor. These cookies are perfect for any occasion, whether you are looking for a sweet snack or a festive treat to share with friends and family.

Nutrition Facts :

Tips:

  • Use room temperature ingredients: This will help the cookies spread evenly and prevent them from becoming too dry.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking: This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies at the correct temperature: If the oven is too hot, the cookies will brown too quickly and may burn. If the oven is too cool, the cookies will not cook through and may be doughy.
  • Do not overmix the dough: Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
  • Allow the cookies to cool completely before frosting: This will help the frosting set properly.
