should have read the recipe the whole way through first
Or not started it at 9:37 p.m. Or not used the hand mixer. Beating something for 20 minutes is really boring and murder on the arms. My grandmother used to make these — hers were really dainty and anise-y. I didn’t have any anise so my mine are almond-y and gigantic (the recipe said it made 90 cookies — I got 47). We’ll see what happens when I bake them in the morning.
My grandmother used to make these too! She left them out on the back porch of her house in St Louis overnight before baking. Oh how I remember the aroma when opening the tin they were stored in. Well heck, I think I'm going to have to try them now. But mine will definitely have anise. It's the defining flavor. Also, you changed your name?
