YA MAMMA'S FROSTED ANISE COOKIES (COPYCAT)



Ya Mamma's Frosted Anise Cookies (Copycat) image

Adapted from Yankee magazine. Ya Mamma's is an Italian restaurant in Merrimack, NH and these cookies are supposedly served there. These are rather soft and puff up quite a bit - rather cakelike, in a way. These are not overly sweet and are best served with a cup of coffee to dunk them into. The anise extract is an absolute must - it has a licorice like flavor.
