Anisette-Infused Italian Toast Cookies
Ingredients
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup softened butter
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 4 teaspoons anise extract
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to the desired temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit or 175 degrees Celsius.
2
In a separate bowl, combine the dry ingredients of flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3
Next, grease two baking sheets to prevent the cookies from sticking.
4
Mix together butter and sugar using an electric mixer in a large bowl until it reaches the desired consistency.
5
Add one egg at a time, beating well after each addition until fully incorporated.
6
Mix in the anise extract along with the last egg for added flavor.
7
Gradually incorporate the flour mixture into the dough until just combined.
8
Divide the dough into two equal portions, approximately 12 inches long and 1/2 inch thick.
9
Place the dough logs onto the prepared baking sheets.
10
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until golden and firm to the touch.
11
Remove from the oven immediately and allow it to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
12
Using a serrated knife, cut the cooled cookies into 3/4-inch thick slices.
13
Place the sliced cookies cut-side-down onto the baking sheets.
14
Bake for an additional 5 to 10 minutes, or until the bottoms turn golden brown.
15
Turn the cookies over and continue baking for another 5 to 10 minutes, or until golden brown on the other side.
16
Finally, cool the cookies completely on a wire rack before serving.
