How to Make Italian Dark Chocolate Anise Cookie

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease with non-stick baking spray.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup semolina flour, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon anise seeds, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  3. In a separate large bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup vegetable oil, 2 tablespoons water, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Gently fold in 1/2 cup of your favorite dark chocolate chips (or chopped dark chocolate).
  6. Lightly oil your hands. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie.
  7. Bake for 10-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  8. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy with hot tea, coffee, or soy milk!
