I once heard as a little girl that if you learn something new every day your brain will never grow tired. Now as an adult I work in a facility that host adults with DD and other behavioral problems. I still take the little notion of learning something new every day. Today I learned a bit about anise seeds and this delicious italian cookie recipe as well.
YIELD: 3 dozen cookies!!!
1 cup butter, softened
3/4 cups sugar
1 teaspoon anise extract
1 teaspoon lemon extract (see substitutions below)
3 cups flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 egg
Glaze Ingredients:
1 cup powdered sugar
milk
colored sprinkles
Pre-heat oven to 350 F.
Beat together butter and sugar until creamy. Stir in anise and lemon Add dry ingredients - blend together. Add eggs. Blend. Form dough into 1-inch balls and place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 15 minutes. Cool and glaze.
