Hi there,
We call these cookies a family favorite at Christmas time.
I don’t know that I can answer your question, but we got the recipe handed down from our German ancestors. That would date to the early 1900s and I would assume from the later 1800s, too.

Maybe the variation in sugar could indicate where your recipe is from. Good Luck and thanks for stopping by!

Just found this recipe and it is the closest I can find to the one handed down through my mother’s side of the family (my recipe calls for powder sugar in place of sugar).

Do you know where this recipe comes from? We always considered them “Italian” (and always made at Christmas) but I can’t find any Italian anise cookie recipes that are similar. I’d love to find out if they were passed down from my Irish or Italian roots or perhaps were just a favorite recipe that became a family tradition somewhere along the way.

Thanks!
