Help! My lovely Italian neighbor when I lived in Elmira, NY used to make a cookie that had Anise in it. It was white soft, almost round, and I think she kneaded the dough with oil instead of flour. The cookie had confectioner’s sugar and milk and flour. It was not biscotti unless she just baked it once and kept it soft??? I thought it was the biscottini cookie you make here, but turns out it was not-no hazelnuts. Carmella has dementia, and cannot remember the recipe, and of course, never wrote it down. Would you know what the cookie was? I would love to make some and take them to her. Thank you.
