Ingredients
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup coarse semolina flour
- 3 tablespoons almond flour (or finely ground almonds with skin)
- 2 teaspoons anise seeds
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup plus two tablespoons sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon finely grated orange zest, plus two tablespoons orange juice
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 large egg
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 levels. Whisk together flours, anise, and salt inside a medium bowl.
Put sugar and zest in to the bowl of the electric mixer fitted using the paddle attachment. Mix on medium-high-speed for thirty seconds. Add butter mix until pale and fluffy, about one minute. Reduce speed to medium. Add juice and egg. Add flour mixture mix until just combined.
Employed in batches, spoon batter right into a pastry bag fitted having a 1/2-inch plain round tip (for example Wilton No. 1A). Pipe 3 1/2-inch-lengthy lines onto parchment-lined baking sheets, making the ends slightly thicker than centers. Bake cookies until edges and bottoms are golden brown, 12 to 14 minutes. Let awesome on sheets on wire racks a few minutes. Utilizing a spatula, transfer cookies to rack let awesome completely.
