Yield 16 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 tablespoon aniseed, plus more
4 large egg whites
⅔ cup granulated sugar
¾ cup powdered sugar
½ cup sliced skin-on almonds

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 200°. Toast 1 Tbsp. aniseed in a dry small skillet over medium heat, tossing often, until fragrant, about 2 minutes; let cool. Using an electric mixer on high speed, beat egg whites until frothy, about 1 minute. With motor running, gradually add granulated sugar and beat until medium peaks form, 8-10 minutes. Then gradually add powdered sugar and beat until stiff peaks form, about 5 minutes longer. Fold in aniseed. Spoon meringue onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, top with almonds and more aniseed, and bake until dry, 2-2½ hours. Turn off heat and let cool in oven.
