ANISETTE COOKIES I RECIPE | ALLRECIPES



Anisette Cookies I Recipe | Allrecipes image

My family calls these "Italian Cookies". They can be made with Anisette or with Anise flavoring. The orange juice adds nice flavor. They are a cake-like cookie that is a Christmas tradition in my family. (They get huge due to all the baking powder, so do not roll too large).

Italian Anisette Cookies Recipe - Food.com image

Total Time 30 minutes

Prep Time 15 minutes

Cook Time 15 minutes

Yield 42 cookies, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 large eggs
1 cup sugar
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 tablespoons anisette
1 tablespoon corn oil
1/4 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
2 2/3 cups flour
icing
1 cup confectioners' sugar
4 teaspoons milk
4 teaspoons light corn syrup

Steps:

  • In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs until foamy. Add sugar, salt, baking powder, anisette; beat until smooth.
  • In a small bowl, beat together oil and room temperature butter until well combined. Stir into batter.
  • Gradually add flour, beating only for a short time after flour has been added. Use more or less flour to make a soft cookie batter dough. (Using less flour will make for a lighter cookie). Dough should be soft, but stiff enough to form a smooth shape.
  • Cover; refrigerate dough for several hours.
  • Using a cookie scoop or two teaspoons, shape the dough into small balls; press bottom of cookies lightly onto lightly greased cookie sheets, while keeping the rounded tops.
  • Bake in a preheated 350°F oven for about 15 minutes. The cookies should be crisp but do not brown - they should be very light in color.
  • Using a spatula, transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool.
  • To ice the cookies: In a clean mixing bowl, combine 1 cup confectioners' sugar with 4 teaspoons milk and 4 teaspoons Karo syrup. Stir until the icing is of a spreadable consistency, adding more milk if required. A few drops of anisette may be added for flavor; a drop or two of food coloring can be stirred in for a pastel-colored icing, if desired.
  • Dip cookie tops into icing, then optionally sprinkle with colored cookie decorations.
  • Makes approximately 3 1/2 dozen cookies.
