Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams All-purpose flour
- 80 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 2 teaspoons Anise seeds
- 2 large Egg whites
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Low-fat milk
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, anise seeds, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites until they are lightly frothy. Add the vanilla extract and milk to the egg whites and mix until combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently to form a dough. The dough should come together but not feel overly sticky. If it is too dry, add an extra teaspoon of milk at a time until you reach the right consistency.
On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to about 1/4-inch (0.6 cm) thickness.
Use a cookie cutter to cut out shapes and carefully transfer them to the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are lightly golden.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the cookies as a light and flavorful snack or store them in an airtight container for up to a week.
