My Grandmother’s Anisette Cookies

20 Dec 2016 Recipes

anisette cookies

Ever since I was a teeny girl, anisette cookies were my favorite. They have such a unique taste and I think it was the little rainbow sprinkles my grandmother put on them that got me. This year, I attempted them for the first time and they came out amazing! It’s been two days and I still smell the anisette every time I walk into the house!

Ingredients :

  • 1 and 1/2 stick of softened butter ( 3/4 cup)
  • 3/4 cup white sugar
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons anise extract
  • 3 tablespoons of milk

Dry:

  • 3 cups of flour
  • 5 teaspoons of baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Frosting:

  • 2 cups confectioners sugar
  • 2 tablespoons of milk

Cream the butter and sugar in a mixer and add the eggs, one at a time. Add anise extract and mix. Add 1/3 of the dry ingredients (pre-mix these) into the wet mix along with one tablespoon of milk as you mix. Repeat until all the dry ingredients are gone. The batter will be sticky.

Flour a baking sheet and your hands, and roll little balls, a little smaller than a golf ball and place them on the baking sheet.

Bake for 10-12 minutes in a 350 degree oven.

Let them cool on a rack and then dip them face down into the frosting mixture and top with your favorite sprinkles!

Enjoy!

this morning I was thinking about the many changes this morning I was thinking about the many changes and leaps I’ve made in my professional career. I’ve taken jobs, quit jobs, started businesses, closed businesses. Each decision to make that change takes time, thought, feeling. Some moves immediately feel right, others you wonder if it the right thing to do. people react, but all that matters is what’s in your heart and listening to that inner voice. This morning as I was getting ready to leave my house and work out of our new studio I thought about all my leaps. Today is one of those. Here’s to the next chapter in our new studio.

✨ Life is beautiful, chasing your dreams is a magical experience that can happen over and over again. It’s all in the journey my friends ✨
