Anise Cookies By: Susan S.

Recipe Story

I am a mom of an 18-year-old son who has CF. This is a favorite family recipe of a dear neighbor and friend who wants to do something to support us by helping in the battle against CF.

Ingredients

  • 3/4 c sugar
  • 1/2 c soft margarine or butter
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1/2 tsp anise
  • 3/4 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/2 c milk
  • 1 tsp vinegar (add to milk to sour)
  • 2 1/2 c flour, sifted three times
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • Add All Ingredients

Directions

  1. Beat sugar, eggs, butter, vanilla, anise and nutmeg until fluffy.

  2. Combine remaining dry ingredients; reserve half (to add by hand).

  3. Alternate, adding flour mixture to butter mixture, while alternating with sour milk.

  4. Beat well with electric mixer.

  5. Add remaining flour mixture by hand (batter will be thin and sticky).

  6. Refrigerate two hours or overnight until firm.

  7. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

  8. Form mixture into 1-inch balls (add flour to hands to prevent sticking).

  9. Place on greased cookie sheets.

  10. Bake 10 minutes. Let cool.

  11. Frost with Confectioner's Icing* and sprinkles. Can add food color according to holiday.

  12. *Confectioner's Icing: Add a little water to approximately 1 cup confectionary sugar, until thick enough to coat cookies (can also add 1/4 tsp vanilla or 1/2 tsp orange extract).
