Does anyone have a tested recipe for pine nut and anise cookies?We Answered:
ITALIAN FRUIT COOKIES1/2 c. (1/4 lb.) butter
2 c. sugar
1 1/2 tsp. anise extract
6 eggs
5 c. unsifted flour
1 tbsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 1/2 c. diced mixed candied fruit or
3/4 c. candied fruit & 3/4 c. whole pine nuts (pignoli)
Cream butter and sugar in a large bowl. Blend in anise extract and eggs. Mix together the flour, baking powder and salt; gradually mix into butter and egg mixture. Chill dough 1 hour. Divide dough into 4 equal parts.
Taking 1 portion of dough at a time, roll out on a floured board to make a rectangle 12 inches long and 8 inches wide. Sprinkle surface of dough evenly with 1/3 of the candied fruit or nuts. Starting with the wide side of the rectangle, roll dough tightly to make a long compact loaf. Place rolls on lightly greased baking sheets (2 loaves to a baking sheet). Bake in 375 degree oven for 25-30 minutes, until lightly browned.
Remove from oven, let cool on pans for 5 minutes, cut in diagonal slices, 1/2 inch thick. Lay slices, cut side down, close together on the baking sheets and return to the 375 degree oven for 16-18 minutes, until lightly toasted. Cool on racks and store in airtight containers or freeze. Makes about 6.
