Anisette Cookies"A traditional and EASY Italian cookie recipe."
Anisette cookies are another one of those traditional Italian cookie recipes. This cookie gets it's flavoring from the anise extract. It's not an over powering gross anise though. (Had too many of those as a kid!) We use anise often in our Italian dessert recipes. And unfortunately industrial bakeries try to make our desserts and they turn out like crap. This is NOT one of those bakery pretender wanna-be cookies. This cookie is wonderfully fresh. You will find the lemon compliments the anise! A great surprise! Try NOT to be scared and give this a shot. It's a one bowl easy to make cookie. And, if you're sketchy on trying this, halve the recipe. If you hate it, then throw it away and chalk one up for stretching your taste bud boundaries. If you like anise flavored desserts you may want to peek at: Anise Biscotti Recipe Sesame Seed Cookies Anisette CookiesIngredients: * 1 cup butter, softened * 3/4 cups sugar * 1 teaspoon anise extract * 1 teaspoon lemon extract (see substitutions below) * 3 cups flour * 3 teaspoons baking powder * 1/4 teaspoon salt * 1 egg Glaze Ingredients: * 1 cup powdered sugar * milk * colored sprinkles Procedure * Pre-heat oven to 350 F. * Beat together butter and sugar until creamy. * Stir in anise and lemon * Add dry ingredients - blend together. * Add eggs. Blend. * Form dough into 1-inch balls and place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet. * Bake for 15 minutes. * Cool and glaze. Can I use something else for the anise?Uh - NOOOO! No Way. That's what these are - anisette cookies!
What is anise anyway?It's a spice that comes from a feathery tall plant.
The most common flavor to compare would be black licorice.
Out of lemon extract?I actually use fresh squeezed lemon juice. (Not the gross bottle stuff! FRESH)
I used 1 tablespoon.
