These cookies are causing me much trouble in this house. I can not stay away from them! So addictive. Of course, they do have a very strong anise flavor so you really have to like it. They are soft in the middle and crunchy on the outside and naturally dairy-free! Yeah!
Anise Drop
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp coarse salt
3 large eggs
1 1/4 cups sugar
1 tsp anise extract
Preheat oven to 350. Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.
Put eggs in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Mix on medium speed until eggs are fluffy, about 3 minutes. Gradually beat in sugar until incorporated, about 3 minutes. Gradually beat in sugar until incorporated, about 3 minutes. Mix in anise extract. Reduce speed to low; mix in flour mixture. Transfer to a pastry bag fitted with a coupler or a 1/2 inch plain tip. Pipe 1 3/4 inch rounds onto baking sheet lined with parchment paper spacing 1/2 inch apart. (Or if you are lazy like me just scoop out a teaspoon full with a spoon and drop on sheet)
Bake cookies, rotating sheets halfway though, until tops crack and cookies are very pale, 8 to 9 minutes. Transfer to wire racks; let cool completely. Cookies can be stored in airtight containers at room temperature up to 3 days.
