Anise Cookies Anesplatzchen
List of Ingredients
3 eggs, room temperature
1 c plus 2 Tbs sugar
1 3/4 c flour
1/2 ts baking powder
1/2 ts salt
1 1/2 ts anise extract
Beat eggs until fluffy in mixer bowl at medium speed. gradually
beat in sugar. Continue beating 20 minutes more ( a must ). At low
speed blend in flour, baking powder and salt. Add anise extract
and beat only to blend. Drop by teaspoonful on greased and floured
baking sheets about 1/2 inch apart. Swirl each to make a circular
form. You can bake these two ways. Either let stand on baking sheets
for 8 hours at room temperature (to dry out) or bake immediately.
Either way bake at 325 degrees about 10 minutes or until firm
looking or set. Cool on rack and store airtight. If made the first
way to dry out these are a coffee dunker cookie or if baked
immediately they are much softer and delicate.
