How to Make Aniskrabeli And Anisbroetli Swiss Cookies With Anise

  1. In a mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar and 2 large eggs using an electric mixer until light and fluffy (about 5 minutes).
  2. Add 1 tsp anise seeds, 1/2 tsp baking powder, a pinch of salt, and 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour. Gently knead the ingredients into a smooth dough.
  3. **For Aniskrabeli:** On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to a thickness of 1/2 inch (1.25 cm).
  4. Cut the dough into 4-5 cm long pieces.
  5. Make 3 oblique cuts on each piece and gently fold the cookie slightly.
  6. **For Anisbroetli:** Roll out the remaining dough on a lightly floured surface to 1/4 inch (0.6 cm) thickness, or roll the dough into small balls (about 1 inch in diameter).
  7. If using, use a cookie stamp to imprint shapes into the Anisbroetli dough.
  8. Arrange both Aniskrabeli and Anisbroetli cookies onto baking sheets lined with parchment paper.
  9. Let the cookies air dry at room temperature for 12-24 hours. This crucial step helps prevent browning during baking.
  10. Bake at 150°C (300°F) for 15-25 minutes, or until lightly golden. Do not let them brown.
  11. Allow the cookies to cool completely on the baking sheets before serving. Enjoy!
