The licorice-like bite of anise cookies is addicting, so you might want to double this recipe!

Ingredients
1 1/2 cups all-purpose unbleached flour
2 teaspoons anise seeds, lightly crushed
2 eggs
2/3 cup sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour and anise seeds. In another bowl, cream together the eggs and sugar. Stir in vanilla extract. Gradually add the flour mixture to the egg mixture, beating until well blended. Drop batter by heaping teaspoonfuls onto greased cookie sheet, leaving room for cookies to spread. Bake until lightly browned, about 15 to 20 minutes.

Vanilla Extract

There’s nothing plain about this vanilla. Pure. Organic. Exotic. Anyone who calls our vanilla “plain” just doesn’t know beans
