In a mixing bowl, first beat the egg and sugar together with your hand mixer for 5 minutes on the highest speed. Then, beat for another 5 minutes on a lower speed. Add the anise extract and combine the all-purpose flour.
Place the dough in your Pastry Bag with the round tip on. Pipe your cookie into a "drop" shape. Then, let it rest for 12 hours prior baking in order for the cookie to dry on top.
BAKE!
When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350F/180C. Bake for 8 minutes (Every oven heats differently, monitor your cookies from 5min). It is ready when the second part of the cookie has formed below the dome.
Once your Anise Drop Macaron Cookies are out of the oven, let them cool down completely on your baking sheet. When ready, slide them onto a serving plate. Enjoy & Bon Appétit!
