Yield Makes 24 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 cups unbleached all purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
1 large egg yolk
2 tablespoons brandy
1/2 teaspoon aniseed, toasted

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325°F. Sift flour, baking powder and salt into small bowl. Beat butter and 1/3 cup sugar in large bowl until light. Beat in egg yolk, brandy and aniseed. Add dry ingredients and beat just until smooth dough forms.
  • Spread remaining 2 tablespoons sugar on small plate. Roll out dough on lightly floured surface to 1/4-inch thickness. Using 2-inch cookie cutter, cut out cookies. Gather scraps, reroll on lightly floured surface and cut out more cookies. Place cookies 1 at a time on sugar on plate; transfer cookies, sugar side up, to 2 ungreased baking sheets.
  • Bake cookies until bottom and edges are golden, about 20 minutes. Transfer cookies to rack; cool. (Cookies can be prepared 3 days ahead. Store in airtight container at room temperature.)

These cookies are a great way to use up leftover egg whites. They're also very easy to make and can be customized to your liking. I added a little bit of lemon zest to mine, and they turned out delicious. I'll definitely be making these again soon.

These cookies are the perfect combination of sweet and savory. The anise flavor is subtle, but it really comes through in the aftertaste. I love how crispy they are, too. They're the perfect cookie to dunk in a cup of coffee or tea.
