A new and exciting recipe from Deborah Mele at A Taste of Italy. I love her recipes because they are authentic Italian and are much the same as so many of my Mammas. These are similar to licorice flavored Ciambelle . Read more I always liked them for breakfast but then used them as a dessert with annisette or sambucca with the coffee bean. This makes enough so you can freeze some as they freeze well. See less

How to make it
- Smash the anise seeds a bit between wax paper to release the flavor.
- Sift together the flour, salt and baking powder into one bowl.
- Using a hand mixer, in a second bowl, beat together the eggs, sugar and olive oil until light and thickened, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add the lemon zest, extract, and anise seeds.
- Mix well.
- Fold the flour mixture into the eggs just until you have a workable dough.
- Do not over mix.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Lightly grease two cookie sheets.
- Divide the dough into four parts.
- Roll each piece out into a rope about a foot long.
- Cut the rope into 6 to 7 pieces. Roll these smaller pieces into thin ropes about 4 inch long and pinch together the two ends to make a circle.
- Place the ring onto a prepared baking sheet.
- Continue to roll and shape the rest of the cookies, placing them evenly apart on the two baking sheets.
- Once the cookies have all been shaped, brush the tops with milk and then sprinkle on the sugar.
- Bake for about 25 minutes or until the cookies are lightly browned. Cool.
- That's it!
