Ingredients
- ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
- ½ cups plus 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground fennel seed
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup pine nuts (Sunflower seeds work well too)
- * I add a little cinnamon to everything, and ginger would be nice here too. Just a dash for flavor.
Directions
- In a large bowl, beat the butter, sugar, vanilla, ground fennel seed, and salt with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg.
- Add the flour and mix just until blended.
- Transfer the dough to a sheet of plastic wrap and shape into an 8-inch log. Wrap the dough in plastic and refrigerate for 2 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 heavy, large baking sheets with parchment paper. Cut the dough long crosswise into 1/8 or ¼ inch-thick slices. Transfer the cookies to the prepared baking sheets, spacing evenly apart.
- Press the pine nuts decoratively atop the cookies (or sunflower seeds, or a combination). Bake until the cookies are golden around the edges, about 15 minutes.
- The cookies are good to make the day ahead and the log of dough can be kept in the ice box, wrapped tightly, and used for another batch.
