    How to Prepare Rosquillas de Anis: Spanish Anise Cookies [Vegan]

    To Make the Cookies:
    1. In a large bowl, sift the flour.
    2. 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.
    3. 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.
    4. 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.
    To Make the Syrup:
    1. 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.
    2. Dip the cookies into the syrup.
    To Make the Topping:
    1. In a bowl mix sugar and cinnamon.
    2. When the cookies are covered with the syrup, dust them with sugar and cinnamon mixture.
    3. Let cool completely on a cooling rack.
