This particular recipe was handed down by a lady from Northern Italy and I’m sure you will delight in this delicious recipe.
Preheat oven to 180 degrees C, prepare trays with non stick bake paper – no greasing required.
In a large bowl place flour, salt nuts, anise and oil and combine well with an electric mixer on low
In a small bowl, mix together the juice, confectioners sugar & vanilla to combine, this doesn’t take any time at all
Then add to the large bowl with flour mixture. Beat on low speed until well combined together.
The texture of the mix should be crumbly and dry in appearance, but if mixture is too crumbly just add a little more juice to become manageable but not too moist.
Shape a walnut sized mixture amount in the palm of your hands, squeezing slightly to bring together to shape
Place on ungreased paper lined cookie tray 2 cms apart
Bake for 15 – 20 mins or until lightly browned
Remove from oven and allow to rest on trays to cool for 5 mins, then while still warm roll cookies into confectioners sugar.
Allow to fully cool prior to serving.
