Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Oven (obviously!)

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups Rice flour
  • 1 tsp Baking powder
  • 1 cup Sugar
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Cinnamon ground
  • 1 tsp Anise seeds
  • 2 large Eggs
  • 1/2 cup Butter melted
  • Sesame seeds for topping

Instructions
 

Step 1 – Prep Your Ingredients

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Line your baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for the best results.

Step 2 – Mix Dry Ingredients

  • In a large bowl, sift together rice flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, cinnamon, and anise seeds.
  • Mixing the dry ingredients separately helps to distribute flavors evenly.

Step 3 – Combine Wet Ingredients

  • In another bowl, whisk the eggs and melted butter until well combined.
  • Using melted butter instead of solid enhances the cookie’s texture.

Step 4 – Form the Dough

  • Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry, stirring until a dough forms.
  • If the dough feels too sticky, add a bit more rice flour until it’s manageable.

Step 5 – Shape and Bake

  • Roll the dough into small balls, about the size of a walnut, and place on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Gently press each ball down and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
  • Place in the oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the edges start to turn golden.

Step 6 – Cooling Down

  • Put the cookies back on the baking sheet after taking them out of the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes.
  • Put on a wire rack to cool down completely.
  • Letting cookies cool on a wire rack prevents them from becoming soggy.

Notes

  • Storage: Keep these cookies at room temperature in a jar that won’t let air in. They’re good for up to a week.
  • Texture: For a crisper cookie, extend the baking time by 2-3 minutes.
