Ingredients German Anise Cookies

(makes 45 cookies)
2 egg white
60 g sugar
1 tbsp grated lemon peel
1 tbsp anise ground

Baking Instructions German Anise Cookies

– Place the frosting bag with a star nozzle in the fridge (the bag needs to be cold so the egg white-sugar-dough will not separate while squirting).
– Layer the baking tray with baking paper.
– Whisk egg white slightly,  add slowly sugar and continue beating until the egg white is creamy to firm, then add lemon peel and anise, mix it.
– Fill cream into frosting bag and squirt little heaps on the baking tray (keep a distance in between the cookies).
– Bake it in preheated oven on 100 C or 212 F for 2-2.5 hours – it’s more a drying process than baking.
