Anise Drop Cookies

A TasteGurus cooking-session note from the class archive.

Ingredients:

2 eggs

1 cup sugar

1/2 teaspoon anise extract (you can substitute another extract)

pinch of salt

1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 teaspoon baking powder

2 teaspoons anise seed (optional), toasted and crushed

sprinkles for top (optional)

Intro:

These cookies are magical. Cake-like on the inside with a thin, crisp frosting-like layer on top. The secret is in the mixing process and then the rest period before baking. If you don’t like anise flavor, you can use another flavor, such as almond.
