Anise Tea Biscuits
Just the fragrant smell of these cookies brings back so many childhood memories. When we were kids, we used to love dipping these cookies in some honey and pairing them with a cup of tea. These anise tea biscuits are very similar to biscotti in texture, flavor and baking method. This recipe is quick and easy to follow and is sure to be a crowd pleaser.
Ingredients:
2 cups flour
¾ cup powdered sugar (icing sugar)
1 tsp baking powder
¾ cup vegetable oil
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
2 tbsp anise
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
Toast anise over medium heat until fragrant. (skillet should be cold and dry – no oil)
Combine dry ingredients in a medium bowl and mix.
Combine wet ingredients in separate bowl and mix.
Slowly pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and mix until well incorporated.
Gently roll out cookie dough onto baking sheet (about ¼”- ½“ thick).
Bake for about 8-10 minutes until slightly golden.
Gently flip. Cut into shape of preference (I cut mine into rectangular shaped cookies).
Bake for an additional 8-10 minutes or until slightly golden.
Let cool. Store in an airtight container.
