Time 1h30m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 11

9 ounces all-purpose flour
9 ounces superfine sugar
2 medium eggs
1 egg yolk
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
2 ounces roughly chopped hazelnuts
1 ½ ounces roughly chopped almonds
1 teaspoon whole anise seeds

1 tablespoon water

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Combine flour, sugar, eggs, egg yolk, baking powder, and vanilla extract in a food processor. Blend until the mixture forms a ball, scraping the sides of the bowl once or twice. Turn mixture onto a lightly floured surface and knead in hazelnuts, almonds, and anise seeds.
