Baking time

20 min

Ingredients

3 eggs

250 g icing sugar

250 g flour, sieved

½ package baking powder

1 tsp aniseed powder

butter for greasing the baking sheet

flour for the baking sheet

Necessities

Mixer, baking sheets

Preparation

Important: do not use baking paper! Grease the baking sheets with butter, then dust with flour. The amount of ingredients should fill three baking sheets.
Mix eggs, aniseed powder and icing sugar in a food processor at highest speed for one minute.
Add flour and baking powder and keep mixing for three more minutes at highest speed.
Put the mixture in a piping bag and make small dabs on the baking sheet. Alternatively, you can use a teaspoon to make small heaps on the baking sheet. You should aim for 7 x 7 blobs, so 49 blobs per sheet.
Note: the mixture is runny. Be careful to not make them too big as they will run into each other.
Leave to dry for 12 hours (e.g., overnight) at room temperature.
The next morning, Preheat the oven at 160°C.
Bake for 18-20 minutes.
Take out and leave to cool on the baking sheets. Once cool, the cookies will come off the baking sheet easily.
