Holiday Anise Cookies from Happy Herbivore Abroad

I am so excited to share this recipe with you and tell you about a very exciting opportunity.

You may have read my interview with Lindsay Nixon about her new cookbook:  Happy Herbivore Abroad.  I was very excited to interview Lindsay and was equally excited to receive an early copy of her new cookbook!

HappyHerbivoreAbroad_FrontCover, rWhat a great cookbook!!  Lindsay includes some wonderful recipes and dishes in her book, but also includes a ‘travel log’ of pictures and comments about some of her trips to the different countries she has visited.  You get a great travel book in addition to a great recipe book!

Today, I want to feature her Holiday Anise Cookie recipe.  Anise cookies, according to Lindsay are originally from Italy.

Make sure to read all they way to the bottom as I have some exciting news for my reader on how you can get your own FREE copy of Lindsay’s new cookbook!

Holiday Anise Cookies from Happy Herbivore Abroad

Recipe Type: Holiday Cookies
Author: Lindsay Nixon, Happy Herbivore
Serves: 8 cokkies
Ingredients
  • 1 cup oat flour
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 cup white beans (any kind), mashed
  • 1/2 tsp anise extract
  • 1/4 maple syrup
  • 1-2 tbsp raw sugar or sugar of your choice (optional)
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • nondairy milk
  • Icing: 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 5 tsp nondairy milk
  • anise extract
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  2. Grease a cookie sheet or line with parchment paper and set aside
  3. Whisk flour with cornstarch, baking soda, and a pinch of salt until combined
  4. Add beans, anise extract, maple syrup, applesauce, sugar (if using). Stir to combine — It might look dry at first, but keep combining. If dryness persists, add a splash of nondairy milk (wetter is better).
  5. Flour your hands and pick off 8 walnut-sized pieces of dough. Roll each into a ball, then flatten into mini ‘hockey puck’ shapes.
  6. Bake 10-14 minutes, or until golden and firm to the touch (cookies will puff up)
  7. Meanwhile, prepare icing by combining powdered sugar and nondairy milk to form a thick paste, adding anise extract one drop at a time (a little goes a long way).
  8. Once cookies are done baking, allow to cool and then ice.
