Categories     dessert

Time 1h5m

Yield About 4 dozen cookies

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup solid vegetable shortening
1 cup sugar
6 large eggs
2 teaspoons anise extract
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, or as needed
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon anise seeds
1 cup shelled, skinned hazelnuts, coarsely chopped
Nonstick vegetable oil spray

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Using an electric mixer, cream together shortening and sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add anise extract and vanilla extract, and mix well.
  • In a separate bowl, sift together 4 cups of flour, cream of tartar and baking powder. Stir in anise seeds and hazelnuts. Gradually add to shortening mixture, mixing well; dough will be soft and sticky.
  • Turn dough onto a lightly floured work surface. Using floured hands, lightly knead the dough, sprinkling with flour as needed until dough is soft but no longer sticky. Pat dough into four loaves a scant 1/2 inch high (they will rise when baked), about 3 inches wide, and 6 to 8 inches long.
  • Spray two baking sheets with oil, and place loaves on them. Bake until lightly browned, about 25 minutes. Remove from oven, and cut diagonally into slices about 1 inch wide. Place slices cut-side down and return to oven to bake until undersides are light golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Turn cookies and bake again 8 to 10 minutes until cookies are hard and golden brown on both sides.

Categories     side dish

Time 1h

Yield about 4 1/2 dozen cookies

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 ounce (about 1/4 cup) apricot, peach or nectarine kernels (from about 40 pits, cracked open with a hammer; discard pit shells)
1/2 cup unsalted butter
3/4 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon grappa
1 teaspoon anise extract
1 teaspoon aniseed
2 cups plus 2 tablespoons flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place kernels on a baking sheet, and toast in oven until they smell nutty, about 5 minutes. Remove from oven, and let cool. Chop finely.
  • In bowl of a mixer fitted with a paddle, cream butter until fluffy. Add sugar, and cream again until fluffy. Beat in eggs until mixture is smooth. Beat in grappa, anise extract and aniseed. In another bowl, mix flour, baking powder and salt. Beat them in just until mixed. Stir in chopped kernels.
  • Lower oven temperature to 325. Set an oven rack in upper third of oven. On a lightly floured board, make rolls of dough an inch or so thick and the length of your baking sheet. Set them on the sheet 2 inches apart, and bake on the oven rack until they are set and lightly browned on top, about 25 minutes. Cool rolls on a rack 5 minutes, and slice diagonally 1/2 inch thick.
  • Lay slices back on baking sheet, and return to 325-degree oven for 5 minutes to dry them. Turn slices, and dry 5 minutes more. Cool on a rack, and store in a tightly covered container. The flavor improves if cookies are stored a few days.
