Middle Eastern Sugar Cookies, A Perfect Holiday Treat...

By Lila Bannoura


Lila BannouraIn a large bowl, mix the first five dry ingredients. Add the olive oil and eggs and blend well. Now add the anise seeds. Place in microwave and heat for fifteen seconds so that it is not cold. Add the warm milk and knead the dough thoroughly. Slowly add the warm water and knead the dough. With the dough in the bowl, cover it with plastic wrap and encase it in warm covers for 3 to 4 hours until the dough rises.
Take the dough and remove the plastic wrap. Cut the dough into small portions of about 3 ounces and make into balls. Dip the balls in the sesame seeds and roll flat to about 1/2 inch thick. Repeat the process until all the dough is done. Place the rolled dough on plastic wrap on both sides of a flat, warm surface, like a blanket, and cover with another blanket to make it rise again before baking.
Pre-heat the oven to 450 degrees. Place the cookies on a baking sheet and bake for about 25-35 minutes or until golden. Serve. LVN
