These Star Anise Cookies are the cutest little cookies that I have chosen to include in all my Christmas boxes this year. The dough is made from a simple batter with a drop of star anise extract and a sugar-milk frosting flavored with anise too. A warm and tasteful addition to compliment the winter feels. Top with sprinkles or silver dragees for that special snow-like touch.
To make Star Anise Cookies, you will need the following ingredients:So, how to make Star Anise Cookies?
In a large bowl, whisk the butter and sugar until well combined.
Add anise extract and beat to combine.
Combine ground star anise and flour.
Add flour mixture to butter mixture and mix until just combined. Do not over mix.
Tightly wrap dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 15 minutes to chill.
Preheat oven to 350 ̊F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll out dough onto a lightly floured surface about ¼-inch thick. Use a snowflake-shaped cookie cut to cut individual cookies. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet about 2-inches apart.
Bake in preheated oven for 12-15 minutes.
Remove from heat and allow cookies to cool for 2 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
In a mixing bowl, whisk confectioners’ sugar, milk and star anise extract to combine.
Once cookies have cooled, drizzle prepared icing over the cookies and sprinkle with silver dragees to decorate.
Wait for icing to harden slightly before serving or store in an airtight container.
