Vegan Italian Anise Cookies

Vegan Italian Anise Cookie Recipe

Time to bust out the Italian in me and share a family recipe! Anise is probably one of my all-time favorite flavorings. It’s so bold, and it reminds me of my childhood. Scents and tastes that bring on the nostalgia – can’t get enough of it! These cookies are the perfect addition to your vegan cookie tray, and they are easy to make.

Do I ever post a recipe that’s not easy? I like simple. Simple is good.

The Recipe

Oven: 375 F
Bake Time: 15 minutes

You will need:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup cane sugar
  • 1/2 tbs baking powder
  • 1/4 cup soy milk
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 tbs ground flaxseed + 3 tbs hot water (flax egg) or egg replacer
  • 1 tsp anise extract

Topping:

  • Confectioner’s sugar
  • Warm water
  • Sprinkles

To make:

  • Mix your three dry ingredients together in a large bowl.
  • Create a hole in the center of your dry ingredients, and add all of your wet – mix well until dough forms.
  • Use hands to knead the dough, then begin to roll those balls!
  • Place on a greased cookie sheet and bake at 375 F for about 8 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • Allow to cool before dressing up with your sugar glaze.
  • Mix confectioner’s sugar with a drop of water, until desired consistency – ice… then go SPRINKLE CRAZY!

  1. These look delicious! Thanks for sharing.

    1. Thank for your kind comment! I hope you give them a go :)

  2. Great photos! Besides the simple recipe, what I’m about to do is Google “flax egg” – can this be used in all recipes that call for an egg (like baking cakes too)?

    1. Yes!! A flax egg is just 1 tbs ground flaxseed and 3 tbs warm water mixed together. You let it sit for a few minutes and it gets jelly-like. I use it to replace eggs in all my baking. Works GREAT for cakes!

      1. Ooh this is great. I also read it works with chia seeds so I’d probably use them since I have them on hand! Thanks.

  3. such a beautiful photo!

    1. Thank you! I think sprinkles make everything pretty!! lol <3
