Yield 30

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup butter
2 cups all-purpose flour
⅓ cup light cream
⅓ cup granulated sugar for decoration
½ cup butter
1 ¼ cups confectioners' sugar
3 tablespoons evaporated milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Cut 1 cup of the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the cream and form the dough into a ball.
  • Roll dough out 1/2 inch thick and cut with a small round cutter. Roll cut circles in granulated sugar and place on ungreased cookies sheets. Prick cookies a few times with a fork.
  • Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 8 to 10 minutes. Let cookies cool before frosting.
  • To Assemble: Frost bottoms of half of the cookies and place the remaining cookies on top to make sandwich cookies.
  • To Make Buttercream Frosting: Beat 1/2 cup of the butter until fluffy. Gradually add the confectioners' sugar. Beat in the evaporated milk and the vanilla. Adjust milk and confectioners' sugar amounts to get buttercream to a good spreading consistency.

I'm not a big fan of anise flavor, but these cookies were still really good. The anise flavor was very subtle.

I thought these cookies were just okay. They weren't bad, but they weren't anything special either.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cookies didn't turn out at all like the picture. They were flat and dense.

I had a hard time getting the cookies to hold their shape. They spread out too much in the oven.
