Time P1DT30m

Yield 100 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 eggs
500 g icing sugar
2 tablespoons kirsch
1 tablespoon anise (for Aniskrabeli seeds and for Anisbroetli ground)
1 pinch salt
600 g plain flour

Steps:

  • Mix sugar and eggs using a blender until they are very soft.
  • Add the remaining ingredients and knead into dough.
  • For Aniskrabeli form on a floured surface rolls 1.5 cm (½ inch) thick. Cut pieces of 4-5 centimeters (2 inch) of length. Make 3 oblique cuts and fold your cookies slightly (like in the picture).
  • For Anisbroetli you need a stamp. In this case roll out your dough on a floured surface or make small balls with your hands. Print the shape with your favorite stamp.
  • Put the small pieces onto a baking tray and dry for about 12- 24 hours at room temperature (this step is essential!).
  • Bake them for 15-25 minutes with 150 degrees Celsius (300F). These cookies shouldn't turn brown! (heat and timing are basing it on convection oven).
  • Let them cool down and enjoy.

ANISBROETLI (ANISEED BISCUITS)



Anisbroetli (Aniseed Biscuits) image

These are traditional Swiss biscuits, made with moulds similar to shortbread moulds. They are hard, and great to nibble on and dunk in coffee. I also make an almond variation for those who don't care for anise, I will post separately. It makes quite a bit depending on the size of your cutters, but is easily halved.

My aunt would make anise recipes all the time for dessert and these biscotti were my favorite. I can remember walking into the house and I'd almost swoon when I smelled them baking-the aroma seemed to fill every room. -Esther Perea, Van Nuys, California
