    Recipe Introduction


    Incredibly flaky and rich, these cookies go well with dessert wines,
    port, coffee, or tea. Serve them also with sorbet or as an accompaniment
    to a fruit soup. This recipe is from the Millennium Cookbook, and the
    cookies are out of this world.

    List of Ingredients




    3 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
    1 tablespoon aniseed
    1 cup pine nuts, toasted
    3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons maple syrup
    1/2 cup canola oil
    1/4 cup water
    1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon anise extract
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract

    Recipe



    Preheat the oven to 350. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a
    large bowl, sift together the flour, salt, and baking powder. Mix in the
    aniseed and pine nuts. In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining
    ingredients.

    Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture and stir until combined. Form
    a ball of dough with about 2 tablespoons batter and place on the
    prepared sheet. Press with your hand to a thickness of 1/3 inch. Repeat,
    placing the cookies 3 inches apart. Bake for 20 to 30 minutes, or
    lightly brown. Let cool on a wire rack. Store in an airtight container
    for up to 2 weeks.

    Makes about 20 cookies
