How to Prepare Rosquillas de Anis: Spanish Anise Cookies [Vegan]
- In a large bowl, sift the flour.
- In a saucepan, over medium heat, place the butter with the anise seeds. Heat for a few minutes until the butter is completely melted. Pour into the bowl where you have the flour, mix with a wooden spoon to avoid lumps. Add the anise liqueur and lemon zest. Mix to integrate completely.
- Turn out into a floured surface and knead until you have a smooth and soft dough, about 5 minutes. Scoop 1/2 tablespoon of dough, form a ball and flatten with your hand, approximately 1/2-inch thick. Make a hole in the center so they look like donuts. Place on a baking sheet with parchment paper and refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, preheat oven to 320° F. Once ready, bake for 10-15 minutes, or until firm to the touch. Let cool for a few minutes.
- In a small saucepan, combine the water and sugar. At low heat, cook until the sugar is completely dissolved. Remove from heat and add the anise liqueur.
- Dip the cookies into the syrup.
- In a bowl mix sugar and cinnamon.
- When the cookies are covered with the syrup, dust them with sugar and cinnamon mixture.
- Let cool completely on a cooling rack.
