Anise overnight cookie. Drop cookie onto greased cookie sheet and bake the next day. These are traditional in our family. Delicious with coffee! Anise oil can be found in drugstores or at a candy supplier.
INGREDIENTS (for 6 servings):
- 3 eggs
- 1 1/8 cups white sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon anise oil
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
PREPARATION:
In a large bowl, beat eggs and sugar for 20 minutes, yes 20, with an electric mixer. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; stir into the egg mixture along with the anise oil and continue to mix for about three minutes. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto well greased cookie sheets so that cookies are 2 inches apart. Cover the cookie sheets carefully with foil or plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Bake cookies for 10 to 12 minutes in the preheated oven, until the bottoms begin to brown. When cool, store in tins.
