📝 Preparation Steps
1
For the Anise Cookies
2
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
3
Start by adding all ingredients to your mixer; then slowly blend until the dough forms.
4
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or Silpat mat and drop 1 tbsp. of the dough onto the pan. (The cookie won't spread much so you can place them about 2" apart.)
5
Bake for about ⏱️ 10 minutes or until the bottoms turn a light brown. Remove the cookies from the oven and allow to cool for ⏱️ 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
6
Once the cookies have cooled, dip the top of the cookie into the sugar mixture, place back on the wire rack; then sprinkle with nonpareils. (I like to dip about three to four cookies; then sprinkle because you want to make sure the sugar is still wet so the nonpareils will adhere.)
