Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180 °C and line a tray with baking paper.
- In a bowl, beat the softened butter with the sugar until smooth and creamy.
- Add the egg, then the anise seeds and lemon zest, and mix well.
- Gradually work in the sifted flour with the baking powder and salt, alternating with the milk to get a soft dough.
- Shape small balls the size of a walnut, lightly flatten them with your palm and place them on the tray, spaced apart.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the edges are golden.
- Let cool on a rack; the cookies will firm up as they cool.
Variations and tips
Lemon version. Replace the anise seeds with the zest of two limes for a fresher flavor.
