Equipment
- Mixing bowls
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Baking sheet
- Parchment paper
- Oven
- Cookie cutter or glass rim
- Whisk
- Wooden spoon
Ingredients
- 2 cups rice flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon anise seeds
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter melted
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Cinnamon sugar for sprinkling
Instructions
- Start Heating the Oven: Kick off by setting your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prep a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together rice flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and anise seeds.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Continue stirring the mixture until it binds together into a cohesive dough.
- Shape the Cookies: Roll the dough into small balls and flatten them using a cookie cutter or the rim of a glass to create uniform cookies.
- Bake: Place the shaped cookies on the prepared baking sheet and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until lightly golden.
- Cooling Process: After baking, let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for a few minutes before moving them to a wire rack to cool off entirely.
Notes
- Consistent Thickness: Ensure all cookies are the same thickness to promote even baking.
- Avoid Overmixing: For tender cookies, mix the dough only until the ingredients are just blended.
- Watch the Baking Time: Rice flour cookies can harden quickly; keep an eye on them to prevent overbaking.
- Storage Tips: Keep the cookies in a sealed container to preserve their freshness.
- Experiment with Flavors: Feel free to add a zest of orange or lemon for a citrusy twist.
