Description

These Italian Anise Cookies are confused. They are more like Croatian cookies or cookies from Slovenia, but they resemble biscotti in shape and baking. No matter where they originate or what they truly are, they are fabulous!

Ingredients

• 2 eggs
• 3/4 c. sugar
• 1/2 c. vegetable oil
• 1/8 t. orange extract
• 1/4 t. anise extract
• 1/2 t. vanilla extract
• 1/8 t. lemon extract
• 1/4 t. rum
• 1 t. baking powder
• dash of salt
• 2 c. flour
• powdered sugar

Steps

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. In a large bowl, combine eggs, sugar, oil, orange extract, anise extract, vanilla extract, lemon extract, rum, baking powder, and salt; whisk to blend.
3. Add flour; stir until dough forms. Turn out onto a heavily floured surface; knead until smooth (about 20 turns), adding more flour if it's too sticky to work.
